Things are down to the wire in Iowa’s 1st District
Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, currently represented by Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks, is rated as a toss-up in our forecast, but Miller-Meeks has had an edge throughout the campaign.
However, things appear to be coming down to the wire: with 90 percent of the expected vote reporting, Miller-Meeks is behind by two points, 49-51, to challenger Christina Bohannan, a former state representative who also ran against Miller-Meeks in 2022. Notably, Bohannan is running ahead of Harris in every single county in the district, and there’s very little vote outstanding in the counties that have reported so far. The bright spot for Miller-Meeks: Two Republican-leaning counties, Jasper and Washington, have yet to report any votes, and those two counties could net her just enough to make up the gap.
