Democrats gained control of both the United States Senate and House. Unfortunately, Iowa played a role in this flip. Democrat Josh Turek defeated Ashley Hinson and will replace Joni Ernst in the U.S. Senate. He will be the first Democrat Iowa has sent to the Senate since Tom Harkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7.png?resize=730%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7.png?resize=730%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 730w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7.png?resize=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1 214w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7.png?resize=767%2C1076&amp;ssl=1 767w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/warrens-voice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7.png?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Josh Turek <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-warren-039-s-voice wp-block-embed-warren-039-s-voice\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"UpEndOjDB7\"><a href=\"https:\/\/warrens-voice.com\/?page_id=360\">Support<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cSupport\u201d \u2014 Warren&amp;apos;s Voice\" src=\"https:\/\/warrens-voice.com\/?page_id=360&amp;embed=true#?secret=plUOXQZSdD#?secret=UpEndOjDB7\" data-secret=\"UpEndOjDB7\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, three of Iowa\u2019s congressional districts flipped toward Democrats.
