Hinson Calls to End Iran War After Voting Six Times Against Doing So
Iowa GOP Senate candidate Ashley Hinson blames war costs for high prices, drawing fire from Democrat Josh Turek over her voting record.
What to know
- Hinson voted against six House resolutions to end the Iran war, including one last week, before publicly demanding an 'immediate end' to the conflict amid cost complaints.
- Democratic opponent Josh Turek accuses her of hypocrisy, noting a seventh related vote against ending hostilities in Lebanon.
- The Iowa Senate race, previously 'lean Republican,' was shifted by Cook Political Report to a toss-up last month, raising the stakes of Hinson's positioning.
- Hinson has increasingly distanced herself from Trump on cost-of-living and trade issues while still relying on his political coalition, including skipping a Vance campaign rally.
“I want to make a shoutout to an amazing public servant. I know she couldn’t be here today, but are we going to elect Ashley Hinson the next United States senator from the great state of Iowa?”

😂 How dumb does she think voters are? If Hinson wins then Republicans control the Senate. And they've pledged to Trump to kill any legisaltive effort to end the war as long as they keep power.

Voted 7 times for the war. Last time was last week…

well, she called for an “immediate and successful” end to the war. Sorry Ashley, it’s going to be one or the other - immediate or successful, though the latter looks improbable. And why did you vote multiple times against War Powers resolutions?

congresslady who since 2021 has voted for everything trump told her to and wants to be a senator so she can continue to do the same learns she is sad about the price of diesel and tells people to vote for her.

And with 43 days until the election, this desperate hypocritical Trumper has been authorized to take reverse positions from her last 600+ days in office. And sure, vote her back in and she will zip back to rubber stamping everything Trump wants for the next 700+ days.

I reckon Trump has given them free rein to say anything they want, so long as they get the GOP over the line. They'll be reined straight back in right after the mid-terms. You do what yo have to do...fight like hell

I hope that when that POtuS is out of office there are lots of MAGA hats around. Because after what he's done to our country we're really going to need them and they'll actually mean something. Maybe we can dye them blue?

While Hinson's two other GOP House colleagues voted to end the war, she sided with Trump.

Now, when she can smell abject failure, she discovers what she really thinks.. right.

Gee Ashley isn’t all of this what you voted for. I believe your website says “ sticking with Pres.Trump”

She's locked in a close contest with Josh Turek. Come on Josh!
