Vice President J.D. Vance canceled two scheduled appearances in Iowa, including a Turning Point USA event at Iowa State University and a campaign event with U.S. Representative Zach Nunn. Turning Point USA said Vance would no longer appear alongside Erika Kirk in Ames, citing the need to remain in Washington, D.C., for "critical congressional votes that have been unexpectedly scheduled." Organizers stressed the decision was not related to security concerns.
