Punchbowl News: “In the midst of a brutal political environment for Iowa Republicans, Josh Turek is within striking distance of becoming the first Democrat to win a Senate election here since 2008.”
”A Democratic flip in Iowa was practically unthinkable at the start of the cycle. President Donald Trump was fresh off a 13-point win in the Hawkeye State. Republicans control all the key statewide offices and dominate the legislature.”
”But in the two years since his return to the Oval Office, Iowa voters have soured on Trump’s economy and the Iran war. The dismal economic outlook has created an opening for a Turek victory, which would boost Democratic chances of winning back control of the Senate.”
New York Times: 5 takeaways from the first Iowa Senate debate.
