Having won three U.S. House terms, Feenstra sought the governorship with Trump&#8217;s endorsement.<\/div>\n<div>Trump sailed to victory \u200bin the 2024 presidential race, winning Iowa by a 13-point margin over Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.<\/div>\n<div>Trump&#8217;s muscle had appeared to be growing after he \u200bhelped topple Republican senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and John Cornyn of Texas in primary battles.<\/div>\n<div>But with the public unhappy about \u2060the war with Iran and Iowa&#8217;s agricultural sector hurting from high prices of fuel and fertilizer, Feenstra narrowly lost the Republican primary to businessman-farmer Zach Lahn, who \u200bhad never run for public office.<\/div>\n<h2>FURTHER REPUBLICAN CRACKS IN IOWA?<\/h2>\n<div>Democrats think they have a strong chance of grabbing a U.S. Senate seat from Republicans now that Josh Turek, \u200ba state legislator and Paralympic gold medalist, defeated progressive Zach Wahls in Tuesday&#8217;s primary.<\/div>\n<div>With Republican Senator Joni Ernst retiring, Turek will face U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson, also a Republican.<\/div>\n<div>The race was considered a likely win for Republicans, but with Turek&#8217;s win, some analysts see it as shifting toward the Democrats. The Cook Political Report now calls Iowa &#8220;the center of the political universe,&#8221; and moved it \u200bfrom &#8220;likely Republican&#8221; to &#8220;lean Republican.&#8221;<\/div>\n<h2>A GOOD NIGHT FOR DEMOCRATS<\/h2>\n<div>Democrat Xavier Becerra appeared headed to become his party&#8217;s nominee for California governor, replacing term-limited Gavin Newsom.<\/div>\n<div>Republican Steve Hilton, a \u200btelevision commentator backed by Trump, surprised many with a strong showing that could pit him against Becerra in this heavily Democratic state.<\/div>\n<div>But Republicans have not held a statewide office in California \u200csince 2011 \u2060and California Democrats are seen coalescing around the earnest, experienced Becerra.<\/div>\n<h2>DEMOCRATS SURVIVE CALIFORNIA&#8217;S &#8216;JUNGLE&#8217; PRIMARY<\/h2>\n<div>California Democrats, who hold power in the bluest of blue states, have just lived through a chaotic contest for the nominees for governor, widely described as a &#8220;jungle&#8221; primary. It is the result of a system that allows members of all parties to run on the same ballot. The top two winners \u2014 regardless of political affiliation \u2014 advance to the general election.<\/div>\n<div>This time, there were worries in Democratic circles that the top two candidates \u200bcould both be Republicans, shutting out Democrats. \u200bThat would have been a tough \u2060pill to swallow, given that 45% of registered voters are Democrats, 25% are Republicans and the rest are independents or aligned with other parties.<\/div>\n<div>California&#8217;s system, which allows mail-in ballots until Election Day, also produces notoriously slow results and this year is no \u200bexception.<\/div>\n<div>The result: some Democrats want to change the &#8220;open&#8221; primary system, even though their worst nightmare did not unfold on \u200bTuesday.<\/div>\n<h2>NEW JERSEY U.S. HOUSE \u2060SEAT IN PLAY<\/h2>\n<div>U.S. Representative Tom Kean Jr. formally won the Republican Party primary, in which he had no opponent. The problem is that he has gone missing since March and nobody appears to know why.<\/div>\n<div>That could make for a gigantic opening for Rebecca Bennett, who easily won the Democratic primary on Tuesday. The U.S. Navy veteran and healthcare executive will \u2060have strong backing \u200bfrom her party that views her race as one of the keys to winning a majority \u200bin the U.S. House, which is split 217-212 in Republicans&#8217; favor.<\/div>\n<div>Bennett is seen as being in the mold of the newly minted governors of New Jersey and Virginia \u2014 Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger \u2014 both Democrats \u200bwith military backgrounds who are known for being willing to reach across the aisle to get things done.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=896\">Alphabet to raise $84.75 billion in upsized equity offering to fund AI ambitions<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=894\">Hezbollah launches rockets at Israel, testing U.S.-mediated deal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=892\">Bill Pulte accused Fed Governor Lisa Cook of fraud.
