I think this will help her a lot. I expect Ernst to campaign heavily with Trump in 2020.

Do you? Honestly, I expect her to walk a fine line and avoid appearing with him if she can manage it. She will play this conservatively and try to avoid losing the votes of anti-Trump moderates and republicans. She knows she can count on all of Trumps voters to support her without having to ask. And Trump will handle Republican turnout.

Good point. But I figure she has nothing to lose from appearing with Trump; he might win Iowa by double digits.

That seems deeply unlikely given where his approvals are in the state.

I think he’s lucky his margin in Iowa was so enormous in 2016 because I expect the state has swung quite far away from him.

I dont think Ernst campaigning with Trump is a good idea. Hes pretty unpopular in the state, and it might drag her down. I would say she draws a fine line and tries to tightrope it.

Hopefully he's going for Senate, since that's a much more winnable race than IA-04. That said, I have a slight feeling that he might be running for President.

The fact that he is making the announcement outside the 4th district indicates, at least to me, that hes likely to go for Senate, rather than the 4th again.

Joni Ernst is filing for divorce from his husband alleging abuse and affairs.

How would this impact 2020?

The husband is retaliating with claims of infidelity on the part of Joni:

Hate to be that guy but does she become Senator Culver AKA "Ms. Culver" in the rollcall? How's that work?

It depends on if she wants to keep her married name.

Wait, is she related to Chet Culver?

If she's not...what are the odds?

She might keep it for strategic reasons, not wanting to confuse voters.

I agree, it’s her professional name. Most likely she keeps it until she remarries and takes her new husband’s name.
