Any thoughts on contested races tomorrow?

I have;
Feenstra squeaking by as steen and lahn split opposition vote and Trump's endorsement puts him over the top.

I think Turek squeaks by Wahls by 5+points.

So in Nov:

Sands vs feenstra
Turek vs hinson

Should be competitive, I hope..

I was chatting with some of my Jones County relatives yesterday and a small handful have all made a left turn are excited to vote straight like blue now. These family members were either unreliable voters or swing voters that voted for both sides.

They have went from not mentioning Trump to despising him. Hopefully this is a big trend.

I like Katie Porter, but I don't think she will make the general election for November. I think it will be Hilton and Becerra.

Oh, wait. Iowa, you said? Didn't Ernst announce her retirement? Hasn't Grassley gone room temperature by now? It's surely time for a change.

Are you on one of the pictures that OJ put up for Memorial day? I see them as I'm traveling thru there.

Yes, you can get an Amen. Grassley needed to go an election or two ago.

Sleepy Chuck is 93, and refuses to say this will be his last term.

I went to my polling place today and didn't vote for Jon Green just for you. Although, I assume you have issues with Janet Godwin, too.

I kinda like that Jon Green feller.

He reminds me of the rabble rouser leftie/hippies of my youth in Madison.

At least he isn't a phony.

He’s a local yokel from Lone Tree. Drinks Hamms beer and plays in the euchre tournaments. Leads trump when he should’ve stayed back. Poor card player, makes bad decisions. Won’t lower the flag to half mast if Trump is finally assasinated…

What's wrong with leading trump on occasion?
Not sure there will be a lot of flags lowered in JoCo when the day comes. 68 percent of the population will be toasting the occasion.

Comeon Feenstra!

Couple of interesting things since Feenstra vs Lahn is this close right now...
Are Republicans holding Trump's endorsement against Feenstra, and if this ends up even being close, that's a great sign for Dems.
Tonight's results might mean the RNC pumps more $$$ to Hinson and less to the Republican Governor candidate hoping the coattails of Hinson help the GOP more.

I don't know what to think about this. Lahn is trash but much more polished then the puppet known as Feenstra. Iowa cannot elect another MAGA Republican as Governor the state is already a trash heap.

Lahn hasn't even tried to mask his racism.

That won't play well with Indees or Hispanic voters.

Sand should be favored against either.
Feenstra is learning that once he leaves his "bubble" in NW Iowa, it's a different ballgame.
I'm still amazed it's that close.

Sand is def the favorite vs either but it's a double digit win vs Feenstra and single digits white knuckles vs Lahn as the cult is strong here.

Feenstra avoided the debates. A bad look that people took note of.

I was hoping for a convention but having Lahn win over Feenstra is an ok outcome.
