Headline: Des Moines Register "The Daily Briefing" email
Joni Hearse is gonna get hammered.
Des Moines Register, 7/3/2025
Stephen Gruber-Miller reports:
Following her vote, Ernst, a Republican, quickly released a statement saying the bill "delivers on what Iowans voted for in November, keeping more money in hardworking folks' pockets, real border security and a safer America."
The three Democrats who have launched campaigns to challenge Ernst in 2026 decried the bill as a vote "to gut Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of Iowa children and families" and "the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the 1%."
Democrats have homed in on the bill's cuts to Medicaid — aided by Ernst, whose viral offhand comment that "we all are going to die" in response to a constituent's shouted concerns about Medicaid offered her opponents a potent line of attack.
