Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks spent most of the show on news from Iowa's 2026 campaigns: a poll shows Iowa as "competitive terrain," a forecaster calls the governor's race a toss-up, why Rob Sand's banking on educators, Randy Feenstra and Adam Steen spar over school vouchers, former Gov. Terry Branstad's advice for Feenstra, Zach Lahn's debut TV ad, VoteVets spending for Josh Turek, sparks fly between Turek and rival Senate candidate Zach Wahls, pitches from the Republicans running in IA-02, and a major labor group's endorsements. Other topics covered: Chuck Grassley on the fired U.S. Army chief of staff, Ashley Hinson dodges questions about Iran, and how the Iowa Senate's bipartisan property tax reform bill differs from proposals backed by Governor Kim Reynolds and Iowa House Republicans.
