Episode Description

Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks dove into the shake-up in the Democratic race for U.S. Senate after Nathan Sage ended his campaign and endorsed Josh Turek. They discussed what Turek and Zach Wahls have in common, some well-known supporters of each candidate, the contrasts they will draw as they appeal to Democratic voters, a new poll hinting at a talking point for Wahls, and a separate poll testing each Democrat against likely GOP nominee Ashley Hinson. Then they discussed Randy Feenstra's taxpayer-funded political ads and the Iowans in Congress voting to uphold Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada. The second half of the show focused on legislative news: school funding proposals, controversial bills related to Charlie Kirk, school dress codes, libraries, and abortion restrictions, and bills on elected officials' safety and renewable energy projects.
