Iowa is poised to shock the country.
Although Trump won Iowa’s 6 electoral votes by 9 points in 2016, things are changing in the Hawkeye State. Biden is in a statistical tie with Trump, and Senate Democratic nominee Thresea Greenfield is leading in her race against Trump apologist Jodi Ernst.
All of this helps down-ballot: Democrats only need to flip 7 state senate seats and only 4 state house seats to gain control in the state legislature.
Is This Heaven? No. It's Iowa. Let's get to work!
