Steve King ousted on historic primary night

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.

Thank you Iowa!

Trompe will make him civil rights zsar in the justice department. Don’t worry!

Steve King lost its membership at the Committees last year. He should have resigned long time ago.

YAYYYYY!

But he lost to an even bigger Trumpette. Would have been better for him to win this primary and lose in November.

Couldn't have happened to a finer scum bag anywhere

Will he get hired by the Trump Campaign?

Yes!!! Let’s vote these losers out.

Good riddance

morgfair BRAVO IOWA!

The primary challenge to King is the fiercest since he was first elected to Congress in 2002. Please God hear our prayers and have SteveKingIA retire to his farm and tiny town of Kiran. Amen. I care that innocent people are killed by those charged with protecting them and the thousands that have died in this pandemic. BUT, there are even more serious problems that will unquestionably take far far more lives; global warming and the destruction of 'our' ecosystem!
