Recent reporting and announcements directly related to this race and its candidates.
Ashley Hinson is narrowly ahead of Josh Turek in early Iowa Senate polling, even with weak Trump approval. Turek has secured the Democratic nomination, and recent coverage says the race is becoming more competitive. Democrats are still struggling to fully convert anti-Trump sentiment into votes. The polling keeps Iowa competitive but still gives Republicans a modest edge. Weak Trump approval has not yet translated into a clear Democratic lead, which may limit movement toward Turek.
