Trump, Walker, Paul, Rubio to attend GOP Cy-Hawk tailgate

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul will attend a Republican tailgate party prior to Saturday's big rivalry football game between the University of Iowa and host Iowa State University.

Charlie Szold, a spokesman for the Republican Party of Iowa, said the event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lot S-7, east of Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. Kick-off for the game is at 3:45 p.m. CDT.

The tailgate is being hosted by the Republican Party of Iowa, the GOP organizations in Boone and Story counties, along with College Republicans from Iowa State University and the University of Iowa.

All Republican presidential candidates have been invited, Szold said. Paul has also announced he will attend a "Stand with Rand" tailgate party at Lot S-7 at noon on Saturday.

Trump last visited Iowa on Aug. 25 when he spoke at a rally in Dubuque.
