(Radio Iowa)  – U-S Senator Joni Ernst, a Republican from Red Oak, says next month’s DEMOCRATIC National Convention will be a spectacle. “Get the popcorn ready,” she said, “because this is going to be the most hilarious exercise that we have ever seen.” Ernst spoke to the Iowa delegation at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee yesterday (Wednesday).

“For well over a year now when I am meeting with national political figure, when I a meeting with Iowans, I’ve been saying: ‘I’m a conspiracy theorist. I don’t think President Biden is going to be the nominee,'” Ernst said. “Well, now that’s kind of coming to fruition.” Ernst points to an Associated Press poll that found two-thirds of Democrats do not want Biden as their 2024 nominee.

“While I don’t want to say we’re going to waltz into the White House with Donald J. Trump this fall — we can’t take it for granted, I don’t want you to take it for granted — but I can tell you with the enthusiasm and the excitement that we have felt during this convention and what we will feel leading up to the election, we are going to sweep this election,” Ernst said.

Ernst says the tide is turning in key U-S Senate races and there are tremendous odds Republicans will win a majority of seats in the Senate this fall. Ernst won election to a second term in the senate in 2020 and plans to seek a third term in 2026.
