"It’s 4 a.m. in Iowa so I’m running. I do that 6 days a week. Before I start the day I want you to know what Barbara and I have decided," Grassley said the tweet."I’m running for re-election—a lot more to do, for Iowa. We ask and will work for your support. Will you join us?" Grassley currently serves as the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He led the committee for a portion of the Trump administration and aided in the confirmation of Supreme Court nominees and many federal judges that cemented conservative sway of the judiciary. He also served as chair of the Senate Finance Committee for the later half of President Donald Trump's term.

If Chuck Grassly is of sound body and mind, good luck for his continued role in the senate. Age and wisdom go together among intelligent people.

Time to go! Been around ling enough that he supports coup attempts

I think his plan is run for reelection win then have governor Reynolds assign his grandson to his seat and so it begins again.

Perfect example for need of term limits…

He shouldn’t be driving a car…never mind holding office!

He forgot by noon, but they reminded him.

Refusal to retire The reason nothing changes And why younger people can't find jobs Lead, follow, or just get the fuck out of the way 😒

Emolclause 🤐🤐🤐

What a waste of air.

Why not? Joe Biden, at the tender age of 78, doesn’t want to free things up by declaring that he will not seek re-election. Despite visibly looking, and walking like his, age. Why not?

My god, when will we see the end of irrelevant old white males in office?

His campaign slogan, 'where is the beef?'

He had passed away just an hour before the announcement / apparently there is no distinguishing dead or alive with him or thats it long since time to give the next generation the reins

So ridiculous, we need new blood in the senate. These old guys have had the same opinions for decades. We need people who are more open minded and able to see others ideas as viable, not just their own !!

Greed!

Term limits NOW

What does that tell you about the talent in Iowa?

There’s no such thing as a vote that doesn’t matter. It all matters. Read more

Go home!

Sad. Guess he doesn’t want to enjoy the last years relaxing cause he wants more $ or doesn’t want to give up power.

Lmfao

🤣ridiculous!

Anyway the voters decide everything.

Of course it was an early morning tweet. He was using the bathroom for the third time since bedtime 😊

Time for this old white guy to hang it up.

And the hegemony continues.

Sad news. He is a man who just hasn't gotten all the hate out of himself. He dreams of spreading more.

Emolclause I'm convinced he was pressured by McConnell. Grassley can win again, but a Republican successor would have difficulties. McConnell knows this. It's not about the People for Republicans, it's about the power.

Chuck doesn't seem too alert lately.

Oh no, a real need for term limits.

Ridiculous!

That is ridiculous.

Is he supporting the new Republican Party who is continuing to try and undermine our democracy with radical terrorist who attacked our capital and the last Republican Non President…. Sad…

Enough already!

Just no - stop it

GHASTLY! TERM LIMITS!!! No Lifetime Salaries, Benefits, & Perks! Government Education…Civics, Economics, History & English should be Mandatory Precursor for All Politicians! Intensive Background Checks (Educational, Financial, & Mental Acuity) also imperative!

Time to hang up your spurs cowboy.

Not being able to affect change for things that you personally don’t experience or understand because you lived in different times will only perpetuate an obsolete system.

😩

There must be Term Limits.

he needs to lose

Iowa GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley seeking reelection for 8th termIowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the longest-serving Republican senator, said Friday that he will seek an eighth term in 2022, giving the party more confidence in holding the seat as they fight to overtake Democrats' one-vote margin. The senator, who turned 88 this month and has held the seat for 40 years, said in an announcement posted on Twitter that there is “a lot more to do, for Iowa.' Although Iowa has leaned Republican over the past decade, Grassley's decision now allows GOP Senate strategists more time and money to concentrate on key seats being vacated by retiring Republican senators in Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. He’s a punk! Despise this old man! Became an extremist radical
