Trump heads to Iowa as Republicans fight for seats in longtime stronghold
Trump’s visit is aimed at boosting Republican turnout as recent Iowa polling shows Josh Turek with a narrow lead over Ashley Hinson.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump will hold a rally in Sioux City, Iowa, with Republican nominee for U.S. Senate Rep. Ashley Hinson joining him to boost voter turnout in the competitive midterm race.
- Hinson faces a challenging balancing act relying on Trump's loyalists while Iowans struggle with manufacturing job losses, health clinic closures, and shrunken farm profits since Trump returned to the White House.
- Although she initially ran as Trump's 'top ally,' Hinson now characterizes herself as 'Iowa's best bipartisan fighter.' She has vocalized opposition to his Iran war policies.
- Iowa Republican activist Kelley Koch expressed concerns that conservative complacency could dampen turnout, though she expects 'the Trump effect' will protect Republican majorities in the House and Senate.
- Hinson framed the visit as a 'contrast election' on Fox News last week. Ad spending on broadcast and cable television has surpassed $200 million this cycle, underscoring the race's intensity.
