What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. As Trump’s lead in Iowa shrinks—particularly among Iowan women—Harris finds purchase in a state that hasn’t been seen as competitive.
On this episode of Iowa Down Ballot, moderator Dave Price talks with a panel of longtime Iowa journalists about how enthusiasm for the top of the ticket relates further down both for Congress and the Iowa Legislature. They cut more from The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll looking at Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds’ lowest-ever job approval rate and a potential referendum on the direction her party has taken the state since coming into power.
Lastly, they discussed the potential implications of Project 2025, a sweeping document outlining a roadmap to staff a Trump administration from top to bottom.
