Joni Ernst is not running for reelection. @lauren-egan.bsky.social spoke to Senate candidate Josh Turek before the news, and he said she was already in big trouble: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbUP...

On top of telling her constituents “we’re all going to die”, she has voted to support everything that hurts them. Lots of hardworking farmers….they’re NOT stupid!

hard to support the last statement when Iowa continues supporting trump and father time (grassley). Iowa knew trump would give them hand outs after destroying this year's harvest. if Iowa isn't stupid, they're definitely gullible

Ich denke, Joni Ernst hat nur gezeigt, dass Politiker auch menschlich sein können, aber vielleicht nicht immer die beste Idee. Was denkt ihr, wie viele Politiker würden es wagen, ihre Meinung zu sagen, wenn sie nicht so sicher wären, dass sie gewählt werden?
