Lots of news about Iowa's U.S. Senate race
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks spent about half of the show on news from the campaign for Iowa's open U.S. Senate seat: the second (and last) televised debate between Zach Wahls and Josh Turek, a new endorsement for Turek, new ads backing Turek, Wahls, and Republican front-runner Ashley Hinson, and outside spending on the race. They also covered the televised debate featuring the three Democrats running in Iowa's second Congressional district, Republican candidate Joe Mitchell picking a fight with some powerful members of his own party, Governor Kim Reynolds signing a major property tax overhaul, and another new state law inspired by Charlie Kirk.
