❗FIRST, A SURPRISE: The first general election poll dropped just a week after my primary victory showing me TIED with Joni Ernst’s handpicked replacement in Iowa’s open Senate race. |
⚾ THEN, A CURVEBALL: A second poll dropped, showing me with a narrow 2% lead over my opponent. |
💣 💥 NOW, A BOMBSHELL: A brand-new poll — from Fox News, of all sources — has me leading by 4% in Iowa’s U.S. Senate race. |

When I first got in this race, people told me I couldn’t win. Now, even Fox News is acknowledging the strength of this Prairie Populist movement. |
But before we start celebrating, remember this: A working-class son of Iowa becoming a United States Senator is the Swamp’s worst nightmare. |
My opponent can’t risk disappointing her billionaire sponsors. She has a huge cash advantage and zero shame. There's no line she won't cross to keep this seat red. |
But everything else that matters in politics — energy, hope, excitement, trust — is all right here with us. |
Once we have the resources to take on the billionaire political machine, we can win one of the most competitive elections of 2026 and flip Iowa blue. We can take back the Senate and reassert the power of working people in this country. |
It all starts right here, with you. |
So today, I need you to split $4 — $1 for every point I’m ahead in this poll — between Catherine Cortez Masto and me. A surge of grassroots energy will help us seize this moment. |
