BREAKING: Steve King, the Iowa congressman with a history of anti-immigrant and racist remarks, lost his Republican primary
Rep. Steve King will leave Congress after this year, ending a nearly two-decade-long career that included numerous inflammatory comments on race and immigration.
"I thank Congressman King for his decades of public service," Feenstra said in a statement Tuesday night. "As we turn to the general election, I will remain focused on my plans to deliver results for the families, farmers and communities of Iowa." A remark he made to The New York Times in 2019, questioning when white supremacy and white nationalism had become negative terms, launched a maelstrom that got him booted off congressional committees. King’s detractors claimed he is not able to effectively advocate for northwest Iowa. As polls tightened in the final weeks between King and Feenstra, outside groups dumped money into the race in a last-ditch effort to oust the incumbent.Randy Feenstra talks with fellow Iowa Republican state Sen.
Elsewhere on the Senate map, Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock and GOP Sen. Steve Daines both easily won their respective nominations Republicans were choosing nominees in several Democratic-held districts that President Donald Trump won. Yvette Herrell, a former state legislator who lost to now-freshman Democratic Rep. Xochitl Torres Small in New Mexico last cycle, won a shot at a rematch. In an open, southeast Iowa district, Marianette Miller-Meeks, a Republican who lost three times to retiring incumbent Rep. Dave Loebsack, won the nomination for a fourth time, facing Democratic state Sen. Rita Hart.
