Iowa Primary Elections: Josh Turek to Compete Against Ashley Hinson for US Senate Seat

In the Iowa primary elections held on Tuesday, Democratic state house representative Josh Turek won against Zach Wahls and will face Republican Ashley Hinson, who is backed by former President Donald Trump. The primary elections set the stage for upcoming campaigning ahead of the November midterm elections, where Iowa could influence the balance of power in Congress. The state, which has been predominantly Republican for the past decade, sees Democrats aiming to compete in three of its four House races, the Senate election, and the race for governor to replace the retiring Republican Kim Reynolds.
