The state of Iowa will have a chance to upgrade its congressional delegation next year, though the White House understandably wanted to play it safe.
CBS reported, Senator Joni Ernst (RINO-IA) will not be seeking reelection to the Senate next year. An official announcement is scheduled for Thursday.
Ernst has served in the Senate since 2015.
A source told CBS that Ernst had told people close to her that she intends to serve only two terms and will enter the private sector.
This news will come as a disappointment to the White House, as President Trump had urged Ernst to run again for the Senate. The reason for this is that incumbency is a powerful asset and there is no stomach for a nasty primary.
However, there is tremendous potential for a true MAGA candidate to emerge. This is necessary considering Ernst’s deviations from America-first conservatism.

Good news IF they can replace the seat with a better R.
IF the seat goes to a dem then it’s bad news as it affects control of the Senate.
They'll win the seat in Iowa if they run somebody like Roy Cooper.
We do a bad job recruiting candidates for the Senate.
Charlie Kirk threatened to primary her. Needs to move back to Iowa first.
She joins Tillis. Two RINO Senators down.
We need to primary and take out Cornyn, Kennedy and Miss Lindsay.
I forgot the Turtle is going to be gone too. We’ve got a chance to purge a lot of RINOs next year.
I don’t think Roy Cooper is the great candidate here in North Carolina you seem to think he is. He was a lousy far left Governor who pretended to be moderate. He’s not nearly as popular as you seem to think he is.
The only person who has squealed is her.
I’m thinking back to Trumps first term. Don’t remember specifics. Since then she’s been MAGA. Who’s been hounding her?
Ok, panican
Ok panicanp
The only person who had a chance of beating Roy Cooper was Lara Trump, but she decided not to run.
There's some truth in that. There are two Democratic Senators in Georgia because we recruited lousy candidates lol
Probably to help democrats as Cornyn, Cassidy, and Graham are vulnerable.
Iowa is now a solid Red State.
Whitney is a great Canidate and he will win.
If I remember correctly, the Democrats had a Senator in Alabama a couple of years ago.
We needed Lara Trump in NC. But we’ll find out in 2026.
That was because we ran a ridiculous canidate like Roy Moore.
I just don’t want you to be ecstatic like in 2018. The excitement you showed for weeks after that election was tiring. You couldn’t be more giddy. You want similar results in 2026.
And you my friend always lose. That’s what we’re trying to stop!
