Ashley Hinson Dismisses Iowa Poll After Trump Unveils $15B Steel Project
Hinson's comments follow a recent poll that showed Democrat Josh Turek with an eight-point lead for the Senate seat.
U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson remains confident about winning Iowa's open Senate seat despite a recent poll showing her trailing her Democratic opponent, Josh Turek, by eight points. Hinson made these remarks in an interview with Fox News the day following President Donald Trump's unveiling of a $15 billion steel mill project in Iowa.
The project, to be built by Mesabi Metallics, will be the largest steel plant in American history once complete. Hinson dismissed the recent poll, stating, "I don't buy that for a minute." She emphasized the importance of Iowans showing up to vote in the midterm elections on November 3, as they know what's at stake. Turek, on the other hand, viewed the steel mill project positively, highlighting the need for jobs in Iowa, which is experiencing economic challenges, including a health care crisis, a cancer crisis, and water quality issues.
The recent polls show varying results, with Turek leading in some and the two candidates tied in others. Despite the boost the steel mill could provide Hinson at the polls, Turek remains optimistic about the upcoming election.
