Glass-half-full take: Iowa’s reached a point of political maturity where King coasting to an easy tenth win in 2020 is no longer a sure bet, so he’s updating his portfolio for the ‘How come white people can’t use the n-word?’ Wingnut Welfare Wurlitzer market. Hey, if the Democrats keep winning social media, Lou Dobbs is definitly gonna stroke out before then…
King’s side was mostly people who look like him. “You could look over there and think the Democratic Party is no country for white men,” he said.

ICYMI: @SteveKingIA won a close re-election bid last year, but that was 2 months ago. A prominent Iowa Senate Republican announced today he'll seek King's seat in 2020. https://t.co/L6iJGKoCh6 #iapolitics #IA04
