Zach Nunn

Trump won that by 10 points.

And then there's Iowa's 3rd, represented by Republican Zach Nunn, which Trump won by four points.

Can you describe the demographic makeup of these districts? How rural are they? How working class are they? What's their makeup?

Well, we'll start with the 1st District.

You know they hit a record high in Iowa earlier this week and gas prices are near record highs as well, and I think all of that is driving these Republicans to feel like they need to be more vocal about this issue.

So you saw Representative Zach Nunn and Marionette Miller Meeks actually vote for the War Powers resolution.

Representative Ashley Hinson, who's running for Senate, did not vote for that resolution, but then later this in the week she called for the war to come to an end.

There has been democratic enthusiasm about their candidates in particular, but also about the potential in the state really since the start of the cycle.

Unlike Hinson, Iowa Republican U.S.

Representatives Mary Annette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn, who are seeking re-election in swing districts, broke with their party to support the measure.

They previously had voted five times against limits on the president's power.

It's easy to send a tweet, but when you had the chance to vote to end this war, you chose not to, Turek said.

Nunn's challenger, Democrat Sarah Trone Garriott, posted a video to social media calling attention to the rise in prices right as farmers head into peak harvest.

Iowa can't afford this war, she said.

Zach Nunn voted for it five times.

I'll fight to end it.

So did Randy Feenstra, chasing the governor's office.

Two vacancies in districts Trump won comfortably, and the two incumbents still standing, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn, hold two of the most competitive districts in America.

Every Republican on this map has to run through the war to reach November.

Margins of error are supposed to be shelter.

The conflict in Iran has led to significant trade disruptions as cargo ships struggle to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a prominent oil, fertilizer, and natural gas trade path.

The resulting heightened fuel prices drove some Republicans, including Iowa Republicans, Iowa Marionette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn, to vote with Democrats in favor of requiring congressional approval if the president is to continue the war with Iran.

In the letter, corn growers asked lawmakers to push the Trump administration to further release oil from the U.S. Strategic Oil Reserve.

The administration approved in March the release of 172 million barrels of oil from the reserve in response to the war in Iran.

She says the ruling reaffirms the freedom to publish a truth without political interference.

Sarah Troing-Garriott, the Democrat running against 3rd District Congressman Zach Nunn, says Nunn should back a measure that would let victims of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein sue the Department of Justice for failing to fully release all of its records on Epstein.

Troing-Garriott toured a traveling exhibit of the Epstein files that's on display in Des Moines this week.

The government reports that have been released sit in binders on hundreds of bookshelves, but many have blacked out pages where information has been redacted.

Okay, let's move, continue to move through Iowa.

Iowa's third district, Zach Nunn, the Republican incumbent running against Sarah Trone, Garriott.

Zach won re-election in 2024 by four points.

The third district, though, has a history of going back and forth between who they elect and re-elect.

Nunn has 3.6, Garriott 3.9. House majority pack dumped $245,000 against Nunn in there.

And there are some concerns reportedly among Iowa Republicans because Zach Nunn broke off from his party to cast some votes against the war, trying to show some independence.

I'm not really sure that that's going to matter.

This is something that you considered a pure toss up for quite some time.
