Donald Trump facing a nightmare scenario in Iowa. Donald Trump's polling in Iowa, his approval, net negative 20 in Iowa. And when you look at the Democratic surge in Iowa right now, Donald Trump is just destroying the Republican Party there. The Democratic candidate for governor in Iowa, Rob Sand, is ahead of Zach Lann, who is the Republican candidate there. By the way, Donald Trump endorsed Zach Lan's opponent, Randy Feenstra. Donald Trump couldn't even get his own pick for governor, and a guy from Kansas, Zach Lan, ended up getting the nomination. That's how much people hate Donald Trump, that Trump's hand-picked MAGA puppet wasn't even selected. Then you have all of the indications that Iowa is turning blue that we've been covering.
You're on the Midas Touch Network. all year long, and frankly, for the past 18 months or so. Remember back in August of 2025, Democrat Caitlyn Dray flipped Iowa's Senate District 1, a district that Trump won by 11.5 points in 2024. Remember when the Democrat Renee Hardman won the Iowa State Senate District 16 with 71.5%, a 27-point Democrat overperformance from 2024? go way back to january 28 2025 when dems flipped a trump plus 21 seat over there with democrat mike zimmer in iowa and folks the iowa congressional candidates the maga republican candidates and mega republican congress members they are out there hiding like mega republican congresswoman miller meeks who said, why would I ever do a town hall?
I'll do one when hell freezes over. Here's what she previously said. Play this clip.
You know, Barton is Cedar Rapids Gazette. When's Miller Meeks going to hold in the town hall? When hell freezes over. You know, I don't have to hold a town hall so you can come and yell at me. You can yell at me at the county fair. And you did.
because here's what the town halls look like when Chuck Grassley, MAGA Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, did a town hall. I'll just give you a taste of what went down. Here, play this clip.
The Congress system created and in violation of the Constitution. My question to you is, why do you believe that President Trump is above the law? And I'll just reinforce what other people have been saying here. Why have you not spoken out for him? Yes! Yes!
Now, I reflect on Donald Trump's trip to Iowa back on January 27th, 2026. And remember what Donald Trump told the people of Iowa back then when he was speaking at like some weird rally where he said, we've got a beautiful armada heading to Iran, everybody in Iowa.
