Josh Turek’s Iowa Senate race becomes a test of the midterm map

Shows describe Josh Turek’s Iowa Senate contest with Ashley Hinson as unexpectedly tight, with Democrats seeing it as a possible Republican-seat flip.[1][2][3]

The Megyn Kelly Show reported Josh Turek had moved ahead of Ashley Hinson at 52%, while Bloomberg Daybreak called the race locked in a tight contest.[4][5]

Several shows focus on Josh Turek’s decision to run an ad opposing transgender women in sports and taxpayer-funded gender-affirming surgeries, a message that angered some Democratic groups and leaders.[6][7]

Raging Moderates defended the ad as common sense for Iowa and emphasized Josh Turek’s account of facing adversity as a child in a wheelchair.[8]
