Iowa Senato Yarışında Demokratlara Büyük Fırsat: Joni Ernst 2026 Seçimlerinde Aday Olmayacak

[Race Across America]

Based on the search results provided, I cannot write the requested article because the premise appears to be incorrect. The search results indicate that Senator Joni Ernst is still serving her current term, which runs through January 2027, and there is a scheduled 2026 Senate election in Iowa where she would be up for re-election[1]. There is no information in the search results suggesting that Ernst has announced she is “bowing out” or stepping down from her Senate seat.

The search results show that Ernst was re-elected in 2020 and sparked some controversy in May 2025 with comments about Medicaid cuts, but there’s no indication of her withdrawing from office[1]. The only Senate-related vacancy mentioned in the search results is for Iowa’s state legislature (Iowa Senate District 1) following the death of State Senator Rocky De Witt, not the U.S. Senate seat[3].

To write an accurate news article, I would need search results that actually support the premise that Ernst is stepping down from her U.S. Senate position.
