Description

Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with the Iowa political event that became a major national news story: Senator Joni Ernst's reminder that "we all are going to die." Democrats pounced and J.D. Scholten moved up the announcement date for his own Senate campaign. Other topics covered: GOP talking points on Medicaid cuts, news from the first Congressional district and governor's campaigns, a Democratic candidate in a battleground Iowa House district, a state senator's Parkinson's diagnosis, several new bills signed into law, and two politically salient federal court rulings.
