Sen. Joni Ernst announced today she is not running for reelection

I'd say yea, but not sure who will replace her

I think it might have been better if she had run. Democrats could have ran the clip of her saying “hey we are all going to die!”

Anyways she is a horrible person and will not be missed by anyone.

Hard to believe what has happened in the Midwest with democrat support cratering. We used to be competitive in places like Iowa, Ohio and Missouri. Now, even in free and fair elections, we wouldn’t have a prayer.

Not really hard to believe. The party of the working man has become the party of the trans woman.

Read Sabato’s note from yesterday. The climate for democrats has worsened in that region. But maybe it’s true that it’s not hopeless…

i don't share your pessimism, at leasr not yet.  the GOP won big in 2024 on "it's the economy, stupid."  well, i'm quite worried what state the economy will be in this time next year in terms of my personal situation, but it would be fertile ground for Dems.  i think there are going to be a lot of Iowan who lost their farms and meat-processing jobs by then.

there are already positive signs from Iowa: A Democrat has won a special election for an Iowa state Senate seat in a district that had been held by Republicans and had voted heavily for President Donald Trump in 2024, adding to the Democratic Party’s hope that it can flip more seats during the 2026 midterm elections.

interesting tactic from some of the GOP could pull to get bills to a vote, since it's so close already only a few GOP would be needed to surpass Speaker Johnson to get to the floor

The tool these lawmakers are planning to use — the discharge petition

Who knows if anything will happen, but there are are a caucus of GOP that are really frustrated that the things they came to congress for are not even getting a vote
