This isn’t actually news — she’s been in the race for more than two months. Regardless, even if Strahan runs a 'Feenstra-style' campaign, MTG has next to nothing to worry about next year as Steve King lost for reasons/factors largely unrelated to this race, mostly the recent competitiveness of the seat with him as the incumbent (not the case here) and his long tenure in office coupled with his perceived ineffectiveness in Congress (and his no longer really having his finger on the pulse of the GOP base, especially in his district — most of his "controversial comments" sounded like clumsy, performative, and largely outdated liberal caricatures of things Republicans supposedly care about that exploited little of the underlying/prevalent fear of systemic left-wing authoritarianism in society and government, something MTG is far more skilled at than King).
