Previewing Iowa's primary elections
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks spent this entire episode on Iowa's upcoming state and federal primary elections, taking place on June 2. They began with the latest developments in the five-way Republican race for governor: polling, high-profile endorsements, and closing arguments for each candidate. They also surveyed the two-way Democratic and Republican primaries for U.S. Senate, competitive races in Iowa's four U.S. House districts, and the GOP primary for state auditor.
