Republican Ashley Hinson is running for Iowa’s open Senate seat against Democrat Josh Turek, and President Donald Trump is set to rally with her in Sioux City on Thursday. CBS, a Reuters report and Newsweek describe the race as competitive. Newsweek reports that Hinson planned to tell Trump his diesel deal with Russia was a “bad idea”. The Reuters report says Hinson has called for an immediate end to the Iran war. Turek’s campaign, quoted by Newsweek, says Hinson voted seven times to continue U.S. involvement in the war, and that her recent comments rewrite that record.
