The Iowa State Fair is traditionally a pit stop for White House-curious politicians. So the news, first reported by Bloomberg's Jennifer Jacobs, that controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is apparently going to be at the event on Aug. 19 is raising eyebrows.
Greene, a first-term member of the House, has not responded to Bloomberg's request for comment. She also has not previously publicly suggested she's contemplating a White House run in 2024, and her reason for reportedly planning to attend the fair could well be something entirely definitely. But she'll likely face many questions about it.
