Opinion | This Democratic Playbook Just Flipped a Trump District In Iowa
Briefly

In a surprising electoral upset, Mike Zimmer, a Democratic candidate in Iowa, won a state Senate seat previously held by Republicans. Instead of succumbing to despair following Trump's inauguration, Zimmer actively campaigned through various outreach efforts, including phone banking and canvassing, ultimately flipping a seat that had gone 21 points for Trump. This victory highlights the potential for Democrats to rebuild and reclaim lost ground in smaller, often overlooked, contests, providing an opportunity to re-engage with voters on vital issues without the distractions of larger national politics.
