Editorial boards across the state are overwhelmingly supporting Joe Biden, Theresa Greenfield, and Democratic congressional candidates

DES MOINES  — With just two days until November 3rd, local newspapers across Iowa have made their decision in the presidential and federal elections, and they are overwhelmingly choosing Democrats as the best candidates to serve Iowans in Washington. Nearly every single Iowa newspaper weighing in on the 2020 election has endorsed Joe Biden, Theresa Greenfield, and Iowa Democrats’ congressional candidates in all four districts. As the Des Moines Register’s editorial board put it: “in this particular election every Republican incumbent should be voted out of office and every open seat should be awarded to the Democratic candidate.”

Des Moines Register: Republican incumbents should be cast out, and open seats awarded to Democrats

“In this election, the most important consideration for a voter might be the party of the candidate.

“That’s because political parties have become so tribal, so lockstep, so power-drunk, so top-down, that the individual merits of officeholders don’t matter much. With rare exceptions, they all vote as a bloc, even to the point of putting party above country.

“That has led Republicans down a treacherous path of steadfast loyalty to a president who has coddled dictators, demonized immigrants, wavered on denouncing white supremacists, run the White House like a family business, routinely ignored science and witnessed over 215,000 Americans die in a pandemic on his watch. And the worst may be yet to come, since he has not committed to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the election.

“That’s why in this particular election every Republican incumbent should be voted out of office and every open seat should be awarded to the Democratic candidate.”
