After a well-respected poll suggested Vice President Kamala Harris has momentum in the unlikely state of Iowa, Democrats in the state are once again reminding the rest of the country to reconsider how red they think the state is.
And they would like attention on their down-ballot races.
The political consensus outside of the Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll, by famed pollster J. Ann Selzer, that dropped this weekend is that former President Donald Trump will likely win the state. But national Democrats have had their eyes on two congressional races for months where their candidates are polling just ahead of the incumbents they’re challenging. That’s where they hope to add Democrats to Iowa’s all-Republican congressional delegation.
