A rare open Senate seat turns Iowa into a costly battleground featuring Josh Turek and Ashley Hinson
Final polls show Ashley Hinson and Josh Turek locked in a statistical dead heat as both campaigns court swing voters on affordability.
- On Tuesday, Iowans vote in a competitive Senate race between Democrat Josh Turek and Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson to fill the seat vacated by retiring Sen. Joni Ernst.
- While Iowa has trended red in recent years, it reemerged as a battleground this year as President Donald Trump's popularity waned, prompting Democrats to invest in an expansive ground game.
- Hinson, a three-term House member and former news anchor, campaigned as a Trump "top ally," while Turek, a former Paralympian, emphasizes his personal story and desire to restore Iowa's bipartisan tradition.
- Voters are weighing frustration over rising prices, the Iran War, and agricultural tariffs, with Hinson asserting that Iowans "shouldn't have to foot the bill" for ongoing military actions.
- Polls close at 8:00 PM, and Libertarian Thomas Laehn also appears on the ballot for the seat, which will help determine control of the Senate chamber.
