On election eve, in the race for the wide-open U.S. Senate seat in Iowa, Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson told the press that President Donald Trump’s visit in Dubuque helped her get her final message out to voters.
“Josh Turek’s too liberal for Iowa, and I think the president helped tell that story,” she said. She again attacked her opponent on transgender issues and immigration, despite Turek saying he opposes men playing in women’s sports and is willing to work with the president to secure the border.
Pressed on whether she had put enough distance between herself and the president, Hinson said that she delivered for Iowans under President Joe Biden and when Nancy Pelosi was speaker of the House.
“I’m always going to be somebody’s ally if they’re willing to work with me on something that’s right for Iowa, but I will be a thorn in their side if they are wrong for Iowa,” she said.
When asked about the integrity of the election, Hinson pledged to accept the outcome.
“It’s easy to vote and hard to cheat here in Iowa. I’m confident that I will win, and I will accept whatever the outcome is tomorrow, but I believe that outcome will be that I’m going to be the next United States senator,” she said.
