Vance Campaigns in Red Iowa but Barely Mentions Competitive Senate Race
- On Friday, Representative Ashley Hinson skipped a campaign rally headlined by Vice President JD Vance in Council Bluffs, citing "previously scheduled events" for her absence.
- Hinson is navigating a competitive Senate race against Democrat Josh Turek in Iowa, a state Trump won by 13 points in 2024 yet where recent polling shows tightening contests.
- The 43-year-old former TV news anchor has faced scrutiny over financial disclosures revealing a net worth between $2.3 million and $8.8 million, while promoting a "minivan-driving mom" persona.
- Vance focused his 30-minute stump speech on GOP gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn, barely mentioning Hinson's race and urging voters to "send the crazy packing" against Democrats.
- This public fissure highlights broader tensions within the Republican Party as candidates balance local voter concerns against national political headwinds heading into November.
