MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker is skipping a prestigious Michigan Republican conference this weekend, as he downshifts his campaign to focus on Iowa. Wisconsin’s governor was to address more than 1,000 people during breakfast Saturday morning at the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference on the picturesque island in northern Michigan. But Walker’s campaign called at 5:45 a.m. Saturday to say he would be unable to attend. His campaign spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, said in an email that inclement weather in Chicago grounded Walker’s flight. The Wisconsin governor was originally scheduled to kick off the event with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush Friday evening. But he cancelled last week, saying he couldn’t get from a Republican forum in South Carolina late Friday. Bush attended the same South Carolina forum and headlined the Mackinac Island dinner solo. Michigan holds its primary in March. Republicans view the state as in play for the general election.
