Iowans react to Biden’s decision to end his reelection bid

Nearly 50 Iowans who’re Democratic National Convention delegates will soon be called upon to pick a new nominee after President Biden’s exit from the 2024 race. Scott Brennan, a former Iowa Democratic Party chairman, is one of Iowa’s representatives on the Democratic National Committee. He says there’s at least an 80 percent chance Vice President Kamala Harris will be the nominee. Connie Gronstal of Council Bluffs — one of the delegates who’ll make the decision — says she hopes all the drama of the past few weeks is over and Harris now has her full support. Shortly after Biden announced he would no longer seek reelection, several Iowa Republicans in state and federal office said Biden is unfit to continue serving as president.
