Nota214 08/27/25 5:56:38 AM #9:	bover_87 posted... The GOP losing their supermajority is mostly academic since they also hold the governor's office, but less GOP chuds is always good. It's more about the pattern than anything else. Iowa will still have a GOP majority but they have lost multiple special elections in Iowa this year and it seems to be occurring in other states as well. Now, special elections tend to have very low turnout and that ends up making it difficult to use a predictor but if the pattern holds, seats that were very much a sure thing for the GOP are now in play. What this means for the House and Senate will remain to be seen but it should have the GOP very worried as their gerrymander push is going to result in more competitive districts coming out of very safe districts in Texas. Given that the President's party tends to lose ground in the midterms, this could be a change in the narrative from GOP strength to Democratic resilience. --- This post generated by AI slop <cite>Nota214 posted [p:986220215] in Catelin Dr...

It would be fuckin hilarious if they had huge seat losses because their gerrymandering made assured GOP seats into only strongly lean GOP seats and midterm effect + Big beautiful bill, Epstien shitshow and tariff negative effects on economy turn some voters against Trump.

Or is that another area where GOP control making this win less important since GOP Governor isnt going to veto the GOP state senate. Iowa's governor is Republican. Governor nominations in Iowa require a 2/3 confirmation vote in the state senate, which the Republicans no longer have since they lost another special senate election in the state earlier this year. It's also a ~20% swing from the last time the seat was up for election in 2022. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/26/1/85819325007/ <cite>MLBloomy posted [p:986221682] in Catelin Dr...
