Early vote numbers, Trump in Sioux City, more campaign news
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with an update on Iowa's early voting numbers, then discussed Donald Trump's rally in Sioux City from several angles, with highlights from remarks by the president, Zach Lahn, Ashley Hinson, Joe Mitchell, and Brenna Bird. During the second half of the show, they covered news from the governor's race (a New York Times scoop, a misleading campaign ad, more legal woes for Derek Wulf), Josh Turek's closing TV ads for the U.S. Senate race, and news from Iowa's first Congressional district (the only debate between Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Christina Bohannan, and a Democratic-funded mailer targeting independent candidate Michael Bridgford).
