What to know

  • Hinson's call to end the Iran war contradicts her own voting record, which shows four votes against ending the war this year.
  • A new Marist poll gives Democrat Josh Turek an 8-point lead (50%-42%) in the open Iowa Senate race, part of a broader poll also showing Democrat Rob Sand leading the governor's race.
  • Political scientists frame Hinson's shift as a bid for independent voters rather than a genuine rupture with Trump, while she still displays his endorsement on her campaign site.

“These actions to lower costs are needed ASAP, and the war needs to be brought to a successful and immediate end.”

    Political scientists call Hinson's shift a campaign tactic, not a break

    University of Iowa's Timothy Hagle and University of Delaware's David Redlawsk told Newsweek Hinson's comments look aimed at independent voters rather than a genuine repudiation of Trump, while she still walks a line to avoid alienating his base.

    “There is little evidence that Hinson has truly repudiated Trump in any significant way. To me this is simply a campaign tactic to try to bring in some more middle-of-the-road voters.”
