  • Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds joined others in ordering flags to be raised for President Donald Trump's inauguration. They returned to half-staff on Tuesday.

The article from MSN discusses the lowering of flags in Iowa to half-staff as a tribute to former President Jimmy Carter, who has entered hospice care. Initially, the flags were raised to full-staff for the inauguration of Governor Kim Reynolds on January 13, 2023, but were scheduled to return to half-staff following the ceremony. This gesture honors Carter, who at 98 years old, decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family. The flag-lowering was announced by Governor Reynolds, reflecting a state-wide acknowledgment of Carter's contributions and legacy. The flags will remain at half-staff until further notice, symbolizing respect and mourning for the former president.
