Iowa Rep. King's defeat marks moment of unity for GOP, Dems
Read full article: Iowa Rep. King's defeat marks moment of unity for GOP, DemsRepublicans and Democrats alike were glad to see him go Tuesday, defeated in a GOP primary after nine terms in Congress representing Iowa and after being stripped of his committee assignments. King didn't explicitly say Obama was friendly to Islamic extremists, but the insinuation was unavoidable. Still, Feenstra didn't defeat King by calling him a racist, a tack advisers said would have backfired by sending King supporters into a defensive crouch. This is a progression, not an instance, said Iowa Republican strategist Jon Stineman. And while GOP establishment groups nationally and supporters in Iowa shrugged off King's comments, only to be shaken by his loss of clout in key policy areas, some longtime King supporters such as state Sen. Annette Sweeney had had enough of King's comments.

Iowa voters oust Rep. King, shunned for insensitive remarks
Read full article: Iowa voters oust Rep. King, shunned for insensitive remarksFILE - In this Aug. 23, 2019, file photo, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, speaks during a news conference in Des Moines, Iowa. The nine-term congressman, shunned by his party leadership in Washington and many of his longtime supporters at home, lost to well-funded state Sen. Randy Feenstra in a five-way GOP primary. But the focus was on the 4th District primary featuring King, the lone Republican in Iowas U.S. House delegation. Establishment Republicans suggested Kings ouster would easily keep the seat in the partys hands, warning a King primary victory would jeopardize it. State Rep. Ashley Hinson won her two-way Republican primary to face freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. Abby Finkenauer.

Shunned by his party, Iowa's Steve King fights for his seat
Read full article: Shunned by his party, Iowa's Steve King fights for his seatDES MOINES, Iowa Rep. Steve King is fighting for his political life but not because he's compared immigrants crossing the border illegally to cattle. But Republican activists in King's district, a sprawling swath of corn, soybeans and towering wind turbines, haven't been quick to accept the influence from outsiders. The punishment sidelined King from defending President Donald Trump during the impeachment hearings, a spotlight King would have relished. Steve King couldn't protect our farmers and couldn't protect President Trump from impeachment.It's a tack Iowa Republicans say is working, in part because it doesn't shame Iowans who have long defended King. Congressman Kings comments cannot be exonerated, and I never said that, McCarthy told reporters last week.
