Loaded with attractions such as bacon pecan pie on a stick, dairy cows, a tractor pull, and presidential candidates, the Iowa State Fair truly offers something for everyone.

Over a million visitors are expected this year for the annual fair, which runs Aug. 10-20, so it\\u2019s a magnet for presidential hopefuls ahead of Iowa\\u2019s Republican presidential caucuses Jan. 15.

Presidential candidates \\u201cknow that this is a place that they need to come in order to socialize with the Iowa voter, answer very hard questions coming from those Iowa voters, and it really sets the stage as we ramp up towards those January caucuses,\\u201d Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, tells The Daily Signal.

Voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina traditionally go first in casting their ballots during primary season, so it\\u2019s no surprise that politicians spend time in all three states.

Iowan voters \\u201chope that we can get our country back on track\\u201d following the Biden administration, Ernst says.

\\u201cWhat we see with this president is a president who appeases our adversaries all around the globe,\\u201d Ernst says. \\u201cIt\\u2019s a president who has focused so far left on green ideology and climate ideology that he\\u2019s hurting middle America. They just want to trample over the American people and do whatever he wants to do regardless of the consequences.\\u201d

Iowa\\u2019s junior senator joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d from the State Fair to discuss the visiting GOP presidential candidates and the effects on voters of the four indictments of former President Donald Trump.
