IA-SEN 2022: Grassley vs Franken

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It doesn't matter we ate gonna have divided Govt again regardless of whom controls the H because Biden is now stick at 43% he will improve to 50/45 like he was on Election night but not 59% like he was pre Afghanistan to win a Supermajority Senate

Voters already know why Ds want a Supermajority Senate to Crt pack

D's on this site will continue to say that a Supermajority Senate is inevitable lol nothing is guarenteed on life but Nate Silver 304 blue wall

[Calthrina950]

Grassley will run again IMO. It's funny, besides his first victory he's never gotten under 60% (60.1% in 2016.) I wonder if he finally will this time?

I think so. I wouldn't be surprised if he fell down to 55-58% of the vote this time.

It's possible. He is subject to polarization just like any other politician.

Abby Finkenauer fundraising with communist sympathisers like Andrea Dew Steele, who once boasted about an “8-hour dinner” with communist dictator Fidel Castro. That's really not winner, especially in Iowa. The moreover that she got spotted by a camera and obviously tried to hide from the camera. The perfect Homer Simpson impression and slinked into the bushes when she was spotted schmoozing with coastal elites and communist sympathizers.

Stop the presses, I think we have the single biggest, shocking news story of the year!

If Cillizza says the GOP should be worried then this is clearly safe R sadly.

In case you haven't remarked, no Democrat has won a statewide race in IA since 2012 (when Obama was the last Democrat to win Iowa in a presidential election).

Tom Miller's and his 2018 election map say's high.

I mean she's going to lose anyway, so I doubt it matters.

Tom Miller, Rob Sand etc. are also likely going to lose in 2022, and probably only won in 2018 because it was a D wave.

Yes Tom Miller, Iowa Attorney General since the 1970s who didn't even face a Republican opponent only won because of a dem wave.

🚨🚨🚨 Potential Selzer/DMR SHOCK poll incoming 🚨🚨🚨

A new Iowa Poll will explore Gov. Kim Reynolds’ job approval on the ongoing pandemic, economy and education.  

Findings on those questions regarding the Republican governor and others will be released on DesMoinesRegister.com beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday and will appear in the Des Moines Sunday Register.  

Other articles charting the opinions of Iowans — including on a hypothetical matchup between U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley and his would-be opponent former U.S. Rep. Abby Finkenauer; COVID-19 vaccine mandates; President Joe Biden’s performance and abortion —  will be released over subsequent days.

“Grassley is shown as Vulnerable in NEW Poll” —turns out he’d beat Generic D in poll 49-42 but since he’s technically under 50% in the poll, the media runs with it.

Selzer is Iowa's gold standard for electoral polling, so I look forward to what they will say.

[Schiff for Senate]

This should be fun, let’s get a thread going about the marquee Senate battle of 2022. Can Republicans stop Rob Sand or is strong incumbent Joni Ernst's motorcycle plabook just not replicable in a midterm?

In all seriousness, Likely/Safe R, but Kim Reynolds (if she’s even interested in a run) vs. Pat Grassley could make for an interesting primary if Chuck Grassley retires.

I’m on team Hinson here. Pat is not entitled to his grandpa’s seat.

You're stupid! Let Ashley Hinson win a few Congressional Races first like for example Mike Fitzpatrick before you throw her into a Statewide Race.

Jacky Rosen, Steve Daines, and Tom Cotton agree.

Well, he does have a point. While it's possible to win higher office after one term as a representative, it isn't as good a strategy as waiting for a few times, because if you do run you could be attacked as a politician just climbing the ladder of power and not really being humble or caring about their constituents. Yes, Cotton, Daines and Rosen won a senate seat after just one term, but in truth, freshmen representatives winning higher office tend to be rare exceptions to the rule aforementioned. Of course, this rule would be a problem for Iowa's Republican representatives since all 3 were elected in 2020 itself and are in their first term. Pat Grassley could be attacked as being nothing more than Pat Grassley's grandson and feeling entitled to the seat, as you said. So I think the Iowa GOP should run a statewide officer who's been in office for a while and is reasonably popular - Mike Naig, the Secretary of Agriculture, might be a decent candidate.

Total insanity. Feinstein should've retired and so should he. He'll be *89* on Election Day 2022. That's just ridiculous. Pack it in. Sorry, I don't care who you are, you are not fit to be in office when you'll be 89-93 for your term.

It also shows how Dems are not as immature as Reps, considering the 'Dementia Joe' moniker could easily be applied to Chuck but no one does it (and I'm not saying they should, either).
