Trump Endorsement Flops in Iowa

Trump Endorsement Flops in Iowa

President Donald Trump's endorsed candidate for Iowa governor, Rep. Randy Feenstra, lost his primary to businessman Zach Lahn, marking a rare defeat for Trump's endorsement streak.

Lahn will now face Democrat Rob Sand in what is expected to be a competitive general election.

This upset highlights potential Republican infighting and suggests that Trump's influence, while still significant, is not absolute.

The outcome provides crucial takeaways for both major parties as they prepare for the upcoming midterm elections.
