A surprising Iowa Poll; Congressional campaign intrigue
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks discuss the second apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump and the first published Iowa Poll measuring support for Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Other topics covered: an Iowa Supreme Court ruling on Libertarians running for Congress, a shady effort to recruit pro-Trump candidates to split the vote in battleground U.S. House races, more questions about where U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks lives, proposed constitutional amendments that will appear on Iowa's ballot, and four lawsuits challenging a state permit for a CO2 pipeline.
