State Democrats fear that they’ll fall further behind Republicans absent more attention and investment from high above. President Biden traveled to Iowa in April 2022 to discuss his economic agenda, but state Democrats worry that without more attention from the national party, regaining lost seats will be an uphill battle. Iowa Democrats know they aren’t getting primary clout. They’re just asking Joe Biden for a visit or two.

Democrats’ souring on Iowa has been in the works for years, and gained steam after the botched caucuses in 2020. The national party punished the state by removing it from its first place in the primary lineup. With the president not having a serious primary challenger, Biden has had little incentive to go there.
Democratic State Rep. Jennifer Konfrst said she told Harris that she hopes she’ll come back, explaining how grateful she was to have her in the state just hours before Republicans took the stage at the Lincoln Dinner, Iowa’s annual GOP event. Before the dinner, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz held a press conference with Iowa Democrats, in an attempt to counter the GOP’s message ahead of the event.
Today, however, every member of congress from Iowa is a Republican, and there is just one Democratic statewide office holder: Auditor Rob Sand. After the 2020 caucus’ technical meltdown, Democrats began discussing whether or not it was time to move away from the state. The state has bucked other midwestern states that have seen Democratic gains in recent years.
