Steve King holds narrow lead over GOP primary challenger

Published May 14, 2020 4:10pm ET



Rep. Steve King has no committee assignments in the House after downplaying the horrors of white supremacy, rendering him practically powerless to move forward a legislative agenda and leaving him isolated from his GOP colleagues. But King is presently beating his primary challenger.

A survey from American Viewpoint, which was commissioned by King’s challenger, state Sen. Randy Feenstra, of Iowa voters, has the congressman narrowly winning in the 4th District. King earns 39% of the vote, compared to the Iowa state senator’s 36%, with 9% choosing a different candidate and 10% undecided.
