Last weekend Republicans from across the country converged on Des Moines for the Iowa Freedom Summit. Big names in attendance included Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Scott Walker, among others.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa told KCII News he likely won’t endorse a candidate during the primaries. Historically, Grassley has not endorsed a candidate during the primaries. He added he doesn’t think the candidate will come from Washington, D.C., but rather from one of the state capitols with a governor or former governor.

Iowa is the first state to caucus and is scheduled to do so in about a year.
