Thesis

Iowa voted R+13 for president in 2024 and has reelected Republican governors by double digits; the venue is paying full price for one strong Democratic recruit (Auditor Rob Sand) before the general-election ad war, and open-seat races in states this red have closed toward the state's federal lean in every recent cycle.
