Iowa Senate candidates steer clear of Trump in debate
Original: Iowa Senate candidates avoid too much Trump talk during debate | CNN Politics
Iowa's Senate candidates faced off in a debate during which both largely avoided direct discussion of Trump, despite his continued influence in Republican politics. Commentators noted the reluctance as a sign of how candidates in competitive races weigh the former president's polarizing standing against the need to appeal to broader electorates in a key swing state.
Why now: Trump's enduring grip on Republican primaries makes candidates' careful avoidance of him a telling sign for the 2024 Senate race.
