Iowa Democrat Wins Key Senate Seat, Ends GOP Supermajority

Democrat Catelin Drey's victory in Iowa's special election breaks the Republican supermajority in the state Senate.
The DNC congratulates Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey on her historic win to break the Republican supermajority in the Iowa state Senate, by winning a district that Donald Trump won by over 11 points in November. This marks the third major overperformance in Iowa in districts that Trump won by at least 10%. Catelin Drey’s upset win in Iowa is a disturbing call for President Trump, breaking the GOP’s supermajority in a district he carried by double digits and adding to a year where Democrats have won or overperformed in 37 of 38 key races—an unmistakable sign that Trump’s MAGA agenda is facing growing resistance even in Republican strongholds.
