AP Photo/Susan Walsh, Pool Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley will be making a decision on whether or not to run for an eighth term later this summer, and almost everyone from both parties is hoping he makes up his mind sooner.
Republicans in Iowa would dearly love Grassley to run again, seeing his candidacy as virtually assuring a GOP hold on the seat in Iowa. If he doesn’t run, there are half a dozen Republicans who want to get a head start on fundraising for what promises to be a very competitive race.
Democrats want Grassley to make up his mind sooner rather than later so they can coalesce around a challenger. The favorite, at the moment, among establishment Democrats is former Rep. Abby Finkenauer. But there are several more radical candidates waiting in the wings who are itching for a shot.

Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), said that he’s “still bugging” Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) to announce their reelection bids. “If you announce you’re running, that would be pretty helpful to me,” Scott said. He added that he recently held a fundraiser alongside Grassley in Naples, Fla. “If he flies all the way from Iowa down to Naples, Fla., I think he’s gonna run,” Scott added. Grassley raised $625,000 in the second quarter of the year, leaving him with more than $2.5 million […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
