Trump-endorsed Feenstra concedes to MAHA-backed Lahn in GOP governor primary upset 03.06.2026

Zach Lahn, a farmer and businessman backed by MAHA Action and Turning Point USA, has defeated Trump-endorsed Representative Randy Feenstra in Iowa's Republican gubernatorial primary. The upset victory came after a closely contested race, with Lahn holding a narrow lead as the final votes were tallied. Feenstra, who had the support of former Governor Terry Branstad and a last-minute endorsement from President Trump, conceded to Lahn, urging him to keep the state red. Lahn campaigned on an "Iowa First" message and will now face Democratic State Auditor Rob Sand in the November general election, a contest that analysts are predicting could be competitive.
