A guide to the 2020 Senate race
Iowa
Incumbent Joni Ernst (R)
Tea Party senator, you might remember her as the Hog Castration lady. After Tom Harkin (D) retired in 2014, she beat her challenger by 9%. This seat isn't as bad as it looks, 3/4 Iowa house seats went for Dems last night. They narrowly reelected a Republican governor last night, so it'll be tough. Iowa is gonna get a lot of attention from Dems due to the primary, so they might have a decent ground game to help put them over the edge if they can recruit someone good.
So, 2 easy pickups, plus another 3-4 more if things go well
She's not going anywhere. She hasn't done anything outrageous and is about as standard issue Iowa conservative as you can find.

I only moved to Ohio a few years ago, but it feels like Ohio doesn't care for me as a Democrat. (or as a women honestly). Why should I fight for Ohio when I can move?
I like my city, and Columbus is apparently good for tech jobs, but like they are seriously considering giving women and doctors the death penalty for abortions. This is terrifying to me and i dont even have sex that would lead me to getting pregnant!! Then Ohio is gerrymandered until 2021, MAYBE. I have voted every year since coming here but it feels useless. Obviously not everyone can move, but if I as an individual can, why shouldn't I?
This illustrates a problem with a lot of areas. All the non-conservative people move away then complain that the area has grown too conservative. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
