Episode Details

Former President Barack Obama just threw his weight behind Iowa’s Josh Turek in the Senate race — and it’s electrifying. The Paralympic athlete and underdog candidate, who even beat Obama in a horse game for a campaign ad, is now riding a wave of momentum as Democrats eye a historic flip in a traditionally Republican state. With voters frustrated by rising fuel and fertilizer costs tied to global instability and disillusioned with the current administration’s policies, Turek’s message of character and grit is resonating. Facing off against seasoned Republican Ashley Hinson — seen as too closely aligned with Washington’s current direction — Turek’s campaign is tightening the race, with polls showing a razor-thin margin. This isn’t just another Senate race — it’s a bellwether for the midterms, where economic anxiety is shaping every vote.
