AINews Summary

Iowa’s Senate race is now an open-seat contest after Joni Ernst declined to run again. The Democratic primary has narrowed to Zach Wahls and Josh Turek, while the full field includes two Republicans and one Libertarian. The June 2 primary will help shape the general election matchup. The open seat keeps the race competitive and adds uncertainty for the party-of-winner market. Finalized ballots and a narrowed Democratic primary may help clarify the field, but no clear edge is established yet.
