Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley announced on Friday that he will run for reelection, further solidifying Republican chances of holding the seat in 2022.

"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, who is 88 and was first elected to the US Senate in 1980, wrote on Twitter, including a GIF of himself running."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's announcement ends months-long speculation over whether he would run.

The 10 Senate seats most likely to flip Grassley in the past has dismissed polls suggesting many of his constituents want him to step aside and said last week that he's hearing"a lot of encouragement" from Iowans to run again. He said he had planned to have his decision made by November 1, but added:"I'm thinking about doing it sooner.

Why did Biden administration and democrats finally closed the border? Is it because more blacks were coming in? And not others? Is Biden administration racist towards 🤔 Blacks of Haiti?

He’s really in touch with the future generations and where the world is going…

The guy is 88 years old! Been in office longer than I’ve been alive! Enough already. If this doesn’t validate the need for term limits, nothing does.

Wouldn’t it be grand if voters decided he’s served them long enough & voted for someone else to be in his Sen seat? It’s part of a perfect scenario where Dems gain of seats in Senate to roll over the GOP cult. I know, the media will make sure it doesn’t happen.

Three words: Congressional Age Limits !

He bout to get covid

Time to vote him out

👍👍👏👏👏

Go away, Chuck.

Unfortunately he will be reelected. Iowa being Iowa will lean Republican. From the Governor on down Iowa has the worst elected officials.

Trumpite Republican Grassley Must Go!!!

Guess he wants to die in office or sleep through committees
