  1. This is why they want a gerrymander and cheat their way to winning. They certainly can’t win on their platform and policies so they do it by choking down our throats their bullshit.

  3. Good shit. Take back Congress one seat at a time 👍🏼 

  4. Good. I’m glad to see voters rejecting MAGA’s agenda. Cutting the departments and policies that help communities to give billionaires tax breaks is a losing agenda to average citizens.

  6. This is so critical to Dems competing again in states like Iowa. Building a viable parry at the state level and winning state races. Thats the key to rebuilding the brand. 

  8. Many elections, if fairly executed are going to be wildly in favor of dems. Trumps only chance is rigging elections.

  10. Watch Iowa Republicans will change the rules just to keep their advantage….anyone thinking these MAGA will accept this electoral defeat and quietly strategize for the next electoral cycle is a naive fool….see North Carolina

  11. Thank GOD. I keep seeing all these articles about how people are flipping even further right. And I just don’t see how that could be true. I mean, at least this is something.

  12. Elections still matter! Otherwise Trump wouldn’t be so scared of them.

  14. We are way stronger together as a nation, despite our upfront differences, than most realize. This is what the GOP is so afraid of.

  15. Obviously that’s illegal because a democrat did it. Expect a invasion for from a Red State National Guard

  17. *Won* that 55-44? That’s about an inversion of the 2022 result. 

  19. Use her message everywhere. Make everything about affordability and hit on things that hurt so much right now. Childcare healthcare housing groceries.

    So damn proud of Catelin! She was phenomenal before running and is going to do great in the Iowa Senate. Plus she has the best lip colors, every time!

  21. This is why Trump and the GOP are doing everything they can to rig the election.

  22. And this is why the GOP desperately cheats. They have no values but power.

  23. What happened to Iowa? Remember when they were one of the first states to legalize same sex marriage?

  24. If this is a tea leaf to Joni Ernst’s seat coming into play next year I’ll get really giddy.

  25. > The Democratic National Committee (DNC) seized on the opportunity ahead of the election, sending in 30,000 volunteers for “get out the vote” efforts and hosting text- and phone-banks with the Iowa Democratic Party.

    That’s good stuff

  26. Boy they better figure how to rig the mid terms pretty damn quick.

  27. can an American explain this to me? is there an election going on now or what?

  30. The special elections were going amazing for Dems in the lead up to 25’ even in usually non competitive districts.

    Good news nonetheless

  32. Iowa voted for Obama twice. Where did those people go?

  33. It’s not much but finally some fucking decent news. One seat at a time, y’all

  35. As an Iowan thank god hope this state gains some sense back for the midterms and we get rob sand as governer

  36. Cue the baseless voter fraud claims and accelerated gerrymandering.

  38. Remember, the only way to make a difference is to vote regularly at every election Federal, State and Local.

  40. Trump supporters: “this cant possibly be because Trump is a monumental fuckup, it must be election fraud…”
