Tough-talking fiscal conservative Senator Joni Ernst is set to stun Washington by announcing she won't seek reelection.
The 55-year-old Iowa Republican does not plan on seeking reelection in the 2026 midterms, according to sources close to her who spoke with CBS News.
Ernst, the first female combat veteran in Congress, has served in the Senate since 2015 and her second term will expire on January 3, 2027.
The sources disclosed that the senator's announcement is scheduled for Thursday.
Ernst's Senate office did not immediately return the Daily Mail's request for comment.
A two-term senator from southwestern Iowa, Ernst went to college at Iowa State University before joining the Army reserves.
While in the armed services, Ernst took tours in Kuwait and Iraq. She retired as a lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard.
The relatively young senator's planned exit comes months after she expressed skepticism over Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth to be secretary of defense.

It is too bad more do not leave after two terms. Change is good, very good.
Dem pickup?
Here benefactor Mitch McConnell is retiring, that's why.

Ernst took tours in Kuwait and Iraq. She retired as a lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard.Maybe Pete Hegseth found out she ain't all she pretends to be.
Ernst is full of Shiite. We voted for her to cut the balls off Washington pork. She joined the DC club and never did anything she promised
Joni ran on “castrating pigs” yet she joined the castrated Rinos in DC and did not castrate anything in DC. That water in DC is very strange, turns everyone into feckless fools.
Yeah okay whatever. I'm absolutely positive swamp-wench was digging in and taking fire everywhere she went.
GTFO, self serving globo-whore.
Hope there’s a solid MAGA candidate lined up for her seat. She was always questionable.
Two terms is enough anyways.
“Maybe Pete Hegseth found out she ain’t all she pretends to be.”
Good point - given Pete’s job, maybe he checked into her military record and perhaps she didn’t exactly storm the beach at Normandy, or whatever she has claimed to get elected.
She is clearing her schedule as a potential VP candidate on the 2028 R ticket..
I'll prefer Tulsi Gabbard...
Good riddance to this deep state hag.
I found out after my comment on this thread that she has a history of campaign promises pretending to be what she ain’t.
I sure hope Iowa doesn’t revert to the idea of “fairness” as they did in the past. That resulted in a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat.
Yeh- and kamala harris is up 3pts in Iowa
“I wonder why?”
