Jennifer Jacobs(@JenniferJJacobs):News via @CBSNews: Hegseth in Iowa today, per several sources. Parade of Trump admin officials have been in the battleground state in support of GOP candidates lately, as Republicans try to protect multiple Republican-held seats in Congress. Spokespeople for the @SecWar didn't immediately comment. Among those who booked Iowa stops in recent days: Treasury's Scott Bessent, Trade's Jamieson Greer, SBA's Kelly Loeffler, VA's Doug Collins, NATO's Matt Whitaker, others. Two US House seats, now held by @ZachNunn and @RepMMM Mariannette Miller-Meeks, are considered very competitive, and there are open races for both a US Senate seat and the governor's office. @ellee
