People want to know how Iowa could swing towards Harris, when the state has been solidly red for so long and let me tell you, as someone who lives here & writes about this state. It’s the abortion ban. Women are furious.
60 percent of Iowans support abortion in all or most circumstances. Many Iowans remember a time before Roe. They remember life without choice and bodily autonomy. Kim Reynolds and the Iowa republicans passed a near total abortion ban. And people are mad.
I don’t make predictions. But last two weeks, talking to organizers and politicians who have been on the ground and door knocking were full of hope, which is no small feat. I guess we will see.
I’ve been writing and working as a journalist out of Iowa for almost 20 years lyz.substack.com
Once again, predictions are a fools errand but even if Harris doesn’t take Iowa this is a huge hit to Iowas R status
Thanksgiving is gonna be amazing. Go home for this one this year
