Trump to Rally in Iowa With Senate Nominee Hinson as Race Tightens Against Democrat Turek
Photo: NBC NewsPresident Donald Trump is set to rally Thursday in Iowa with Rep. Ashley Hinson, the Republican nominee for the open U.S. Senate seat, in a state he won by 13 percentage points two years ago. Hinson faces Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek in a race more competitive than expected. She first pledged to be Trump's top ally, but at a debate earlier this month said she would push back on him when needed, and she repeated that to Fox News last week. Iowa has been hit by high energy prices and last year's U.S.-China trade war, in which Beijing boycotted American soybeans.
