In Iowa, state Representative Josh Turek has won the Democratic nomination in the race to succeed retiring U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, a Republican. Turek is a former Paralympic gold medalist who had the endorsement of establishment Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. He defeated progressive Democrat Zach Wahls.

Meanwhile, Iowa Republicans have selected farmer Zach Lahn as their party’s gubernatorial candidate. Lahn narrowly defeated President Trump’s pick in the race, far-right Congressmember Randy Feenstra, whom Trump described as ”MAGA all the way.”
