Joni Ernst Won't Seek Reelection in Iowa

Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst has decided not to seek reelection to a third term, two people familiar with the decision say, and is poised to make an announcement next week. ... Ernst has come under fire since responding "we are all going to die" to a constituent at a town meeting who raised concerns about Medicaid cuts in Trump's policy megabill.

Comments

"She rejects the scientific consensus on climate change."

Politicians like her need to be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.

Ernst mistake was telling voters how GOP politicians actually feel about them. Hopefully Iowa voters will be smart enough to recognize that wasn't just her view when she made that statement.

This is a sign that if we have a fair election next Fall there will be a Blue wave.

Mighty big "if".
