Trump's MAGA, Inc PAC is spending in three #Iowa districts:
#IA02 (open, Trump carried by 10 points)
#IA01 (Miller-Meeks, Trump carried by 8.5 points)
#IA03 (Nunn, Trump carried by 4 points)
#IA02 (open, Trump carried by 10 points)
#IA01 (Miller-Meeks, Trump carried by 8.5 points)
#IA03 (Nunn, Trump carried by 4 points)
Of the 27 House districts Trump's PAC is spending in, 19 are GOP districts, and 26 were carried by Trump, most by more than 5, some by as much as 10 or 15 or 17.

Epic Trump Collapse Now Forcing His PAC to Spend Deep in MAGA Country
Trumpworld is spending tens of millions to defend House districts he carried by sizable margins in 2024. Not a good sign for him.

Sharing again with link:
I've been saying #IA02 is in play, along with #IA01 and #IA03.
These numbers suggest Trump's approval rating is -12 in #IA01 (which he carried by 8.5 points), -12 in #IA02 (voted for Trump by 10 points), and -16 in #IA03 (which he carried by 4 points).

NEW: Donald Trump is underwater with registered voters in **135** GOP-held House and Senate seats. His approval is <45% in 44, including 10 senators. Should be a warning for Republicans in Congress weighing electoral cost of Trump's war and crazy tweets.

-State Rep Lindsay James

A day after State Rep. Shannon Lundgren ended her campaign in #IA02, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson endorsed Joe Mitchell (who already had a bunch of other MAGA backers).
Lundgren would have been a stronger GOP candidate. She has deep ties to the area (and was an early Trump endorser).
