Vance Targets Iowa Democrats as Midterms Heat Up | Des Moines News
Vice President JD Vance hit Iowa’s campaign trail, framing the midterms as a stark choice between “commonsense” and “crazy,” zeroing in on Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand as emblematic of dangerous extremism. With just 50 days until Election Day, Iowa’s pivotal races — Senate, governor, and key House seats — are drawing national attention, even as GOP surrogates like Vance rally voters amid economic headwinds from rising gas prices and agricultural pressures. While Vance touted administration wins like job growth and border security, he also urged lawmakers to pass stalled E15 legislation to help farmers — all while some Iowa Republicans quietly seek distance from the national GOP to court moderates. Sand’s camp pushed back, branding himself an independent watchdog holding both parties accountable.
