IA Democrats should look at him. He was a good moderate Democrat for the state, can he run in '22?

Kim Reynolds will probably win again (her approval are not outstanding but not the worst either) no matter whether it's a Biden (likely R bordering safe) or a Trump (lean R bordering likely) midterm, considering Iowa's rightward shift in recent years.

Chet Culver will have been out of politics for 12 years in 2022. Rob Sand seems like a more promising choice to make this race somewhat competitive as he was actually able to win statewide recently, ousting an incumbent Republican for an office than had been held by the GOP for more than five decades.

I’m not particularly confident about Republicans winning back the House in 2022 even if Biden is President, but I feel like Iowa is probably the state where Democrats will suffer the most dramatic losses under his presidency. Not sure why Culver would want run in such an environment if he lost by 10 points as incumbent in 2010, and Reynolds might be persuaded to run for Senate instead of reelection as governor.

Reynolds strikes me as a particularly good recruit in 2022 in the scenario you outlined.

Why?  His approval ratings sucked towards the end of his term, with PPP putting him as low as 28%.

This race is probably not winnable, least of all with Chet Culver. Iowa is moving hard to the right.

Didn't he lose Polk County? He'd be terrible even by Dem retread standards.

How about Tom Corbett running for Pennsylvania governor in 2022?

Nope. The IA Dems are on the edge of being irrelevant in the statewide level.

The Ds had an AG and State Auditor easily win their statewide races, why would they revert to Culver?

Reynolds is finished, she is making a mistake of sending workers back to meatpacking plants while the Covid 19 virus is going bad and she stumbled over her own words while making the speech. That's why Ernst is tied not ahead in the polls, due to her being tied to Reynolds politically
