Brianne Pfannenstiel reports;

Lahn upset Republican U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra in Iowa's June 2 primary elections to become the party's nominee for governor in a race that national elections analysts are calling a "toss up." 

He will face Democrat Rob Sand in November. In the primary, Trump backed Feenstra just days before the election. After Feenstra's loss, Trump told reporters he had not been given the proper information about the candidates.
