Vance Campaigns in Red Iowa but Barely Mentions Competitive Senate Race
Vance urged voters to back Zach Lahn and cast November as a fight against Democratic plans to transform the country.
- On Friday, Vice President JD Vance rallied supporters in Council Bluffs, Iowa, delivering a 30-minute stump speech that heavily touted GOP gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn while emphasizing populist 'Iowa values.'
- Rep. Ashley Hinson skipped the Council Bluffs event despite her competitive Senate race against Democrat Josh Turek, signaling potential distance from the vice president's campaign efforts in Iowa.

- The gubernatorial contest between Lahn and Democrat Rob Sand remains highly competitive, with Inside Elections currently rating the race as 'Tilt Democratic' in the reliably red state.
- Vance nationalized the midterm stakes, warning the crowd that Democrat leaders believe this country needs to be 'utterly transformed,' urging voters to support GOP candidates in November.
