Kari Lake Trending as Contender for Joni Ernst’s Seat in 2026 – “Kari Lake’s Potential Move to Iowa: A New Senate Battle?”
Kari Lake is trending on X/Twitter tonight as a potential contender to take on Joni Ernst (R-IA) for the U.S. Senate in 2026 after Ernst’s attempts to sabotage Trump’s incoming administration and Cabinet picks.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Joni Ernst said on Thursday that she is not yet a “yes” vote on Pete Hegseth after meeting with him privately. Ernst voted in favor of Biden’s incompetent DEI Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, but she draws the line with Pete Hegseth. What a gutless individual.
She didn’t stop there either.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Ernst is waging an aggressive campaign to derail Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense.
According to sources close to the Trump campaign, Ernst has been making direct appeals to former President Donald Trump, urging him to withdraw Hegseth’s nomination and positioning herself as a potential replacement.
