A businessman from Texas who’s launched a campaign for the GOP’s 2024 nomination for president is visiting Iowa this week. Ryan Binkley is also lead pastor and co-founder of Create Church in a suburb of Dallas.
“The Lord really placed it in my heart really about eight years ago. I really started hearing a message in my heart about what’s needed in our country,” Bickley said, “and today I see our country really in the biggest crisis I think that it’s been in the last 30-40 years and I see a great need for us to unify our country so we can tackle some of the biggest problems we have and I believe now’s the time.”
Binkley said one of the biggest obstacles the country faces is an unwillingness between the left and right to compromise. “We need leaders that will do more than just talk unity,” Binkley said. “I remember when President Biden ran, he was making statements about unifying our country, but he never gave us anything that we can unify on, so it’s going to take a lot more than talk. We’re going to actually have to do it.”
