Democrat Christina Bohannan beat Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa's 1st Congressional District, flipping a battleground seat in their third straight matchup.
Democrat Christina Bohannan won Iowa's 1st Congressional District, defeating Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, according to PBS NewsHour and CBS News. The Hill reports that Decision Desk HQ projected the result, which flips a key battleground seat to Democrats.
It was the third consecutive general election between the two. PBS NewsHour reports Bohannan lost the second race by just 799 votes two years ago. The Hill describes Miller-Meeks as a three-term incumbent and Bohannan as a University of Iowa law professor and former state lawmaker.
CBS News says Republican dominance in the agriculture-heavy state has weakened in recent weeks. It attributes this to harm Iowans have felt from Trump's tariffs and the Iran war.
