Joni Ernst Will Not Run for Re-Election

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) is expected to announce next week that she will not seek reelection in 2026, CBS News reports.

NOTUS: “Had she run, she likely would have faced attacks from Democrats over her support for the Republican spending bill. In May, she delivered Democrats a potent talking point when she told voters, ‘We are all going to die,’ in response to a constituent’s question about people dying due to Medicaid cuts in the bill.”
