Iowa Democrats Win Landslide in Safe Seat, Claiming Trump Rebuke
Democrat Angel Ramirez decisively won Iowa’s 78th district special election, securing 79 percent of the vote against Republican Bernie Hayes. Despite low voter turnout (17.4 percent), the Democratic victory was celebrated as a rejection of Trump’s agenda. Ramirez will complete Sami Scheetz’s term, although Republicans maintain a majority in the Iowa House. The results have energized Democrats and are interpreted as a positive sign for future elections.
