Randy Feenstra backfired. feenstra lost Tuesday\u2019s Iowa Republican gubernatorial primary to conservative businessman and farmer Zach Lahn, a candidate backed by prominent conservative groups and aligned wiht teh MAHA movement and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >anti-mass migration views<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post reports that Trump\u2019s team was more behind Feenstra than polls suggested, describing the endorsement as effectively a \u201cHail Mary\u201d coming onyl days before the vote. The article contrasts Iowa\u2019s result with the 2024 election, when Iowa gave Trump a strong win over Kamala Harris.  <\/p>\n<p>It also notes that conservatives largely praised lahn\u2019s platform and coalition-building,though some commenters criticized him for connections to other right-wing figures. Lahn is set to face Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand in November after sand won the Democratic primary without opposition.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s undefeated record in 2026 Republican primary contests has fallen by the wayside.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/06\/03\/trumps-pick-iowa-governor-concedes-gop-primary-upset\/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzgwNDU5MjAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzgxODQxNTk5LCJpYXQiOjE3ODA0NTkyMDAsImp0aSI6ImRlYzA5MDQxLTA3NWMtNDRlNi04NmE1LTdlZDQ5MjNlNmI1NiIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9wb2xpdGljcy8yMDI2LzA2LzAzL3RydW1wcy1waWNrLWlvd2EtZ292ZXJub3ItY29uY2VkZXMtZ29wLXByaW1hcnktdXBzZXQvIn0.4sxAEhjNx2wtVJ-Zf6CE13dsxQwN0xwWCkCGKrHKg6c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Post<\/a>, Trump-endorsed Republican Rep.
