The controversial Iowa Republican congressman Steve King has been ousted in Tuesday’s primary, losing his re-election race to the state senator Randy Feenstra.
Steven Arnold King (born May 28, 1949) is an American politician and former businessman, serving as a U.S. Representative from Iowa since 2003.
A member of the Republican Party, he represented Iowa’s 5th congressional district until 2013, when redistricting renumbered it the 4th.
This district is in northwestern Iowa and includes Sioux City. King ran for reelection in 2020, but lost renomination in the primary.
King had faced the re-election fight of his life. The nine-term conservative congressman, who was repeatedly reprimanded by leaders in his own party for racist rhetoric and interactions with white nationalists, found himself in a nightmare situation for an incumbent congressman.
