The Hot Dish

There Goes Iowa


Listen Later

On Monday, former President Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucuses by a roughly 30-point margin. But Iowa Democrat and One Country Project board member J.D. Scholten tells host Heidi Heitkamp in this episode of the Hot Dish that he’s actually underperforming for an incumbent candidate.


“If he’s running as an ‘incumbent,’ 50 percent is nothing to brag about. It should be over 80 percent, you know?”


Scholten tells Heidi about his run-in with canvassers for Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and how he thinks Democrats can drive rural swing voters to the Democratic Party. Later, a young Virginia farmer explains why he decided to move back home after college to start his own farm.


But first, host Joel Heitkamp gives us a look inside his childhood and how he sees the Democratic Party today.
