(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) Governor Eric Greitens stopped by St. Joseph Saturday for a GOP annual fundraiser.

The Lincoln-Reagan Days dinner is an annual event put on by the Buchanan County Republicans at the Benton Club.

Although the dinner was scheduled to go from 6 pm to 8 pm, the Governor left the event about 30 minutes after the start time. KQ2 asked the Governor whether he planned to resign but he did not respond or stop to talk as he left the building.
