She says the announcement may come this weekend.

The annual event, which began in 2015, takes places Saturday, June 3. It starts at the Big Barn Harley Davidson in Des Moines where the motorcycles take off and ends with the roast and rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Participants don’t have to take part in the motorcycle ride.
Two presidential candidates who have announced their participation at the Roast and Ride are former president Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
