Cross-post from Iowa Down Ballot
Dave Busiek, Rekha Basu, Art Cullen, Dennis Goldford, Bob Leonard, Barry Piatt, Ed Tibbetts and I shared initial thoughts about the Iowa election results. The topics here were a bit different from what Spencer Dirks and I discussed on "KHOI's Capitol Week" Wednesday. I'm publishing a series of takes on Iowa's elections at Bleeding Heartland: https://www.bleedingheartland.com/tag/lessons-of-2024/ -

Going into Tuesday, Iowa Democrats had a lot to be excited about: some competitive seats in Des Moines, two “toss-up” congressional seats, and an Iowa Poll that suggested big wins for Democrats. But not all the glitters is gold.

It’s sometimes deep red.

On this episode of Iowa Down Ballot, moderator Dave Busiek talks with a panel of longtime Iowa journalists and analysts about how 2024 shook out in Iowa. Was it the economy? Or is there a larger cultural force at work that had Trump running away with the state?
