(Scott Olson\/Getty) (Scott Olson\/(Scott Olson\/Getty))<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>State Rep. <b>Josh Turek <\/b>won Iowa\u2019s Democratic Senate primary on Tuesday night, besting state Sen. <b>Zach Wahls <\/b>with the help of more than $10 million from VoteVets, a group that helps elect veterans and veteran families.<\/p>\n<p>There are many lessons to take from Turek\u2019s win, including that an overwhelming money advantage in a campaign is often synonymous with a win.<\/p>\n<p>But another lesson from Wahls\u2019s loss may be that there are limits on Democratic Senate candidates running against <b>Charles E. Schumer<\/b>, the Democratic leader in the Senate who has been vilified by candidates seeking to run as outsiders.<\/p>\n<p>Wahls\u2019s anti-Schumer message got a lot of attention, including by this newsletter, but it failed to resonate<b> <\/b>at a time when many are more worried about the economy, President <b>Donald Trump<\/b>\u2019s administration and the war in Iran than the Democratic establishment. It\u2019s also a warning sign for candidates in future Democratic primaries who talk about opposing Schumer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis confirms that voters care more about their own pocketbooks than inside-the-party politics,\u201d said a Democrat close to Schumer. \u201cCandidates who make the race about D.C. leadership instead of issues the voters in their state face are missing the mark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wahls ran as an outspoken Schumer critic, announcing early in the campaign that he would not support the minority leader for a leadership position if elected. Wahls, in lamenting the \u201cunprecedented amount of outside spending in a Democratic primary,\u201d alleged to us without evidence that Schumer was somehow attempting \u201cto buy\u201d and quietly influence the primary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt certainly seems to us like Senator Schumer\u2019s trying to make a point, and that this is not about winning in November at all, this is about asserting his control over the Democratic Party,\u201d Wahls said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/06\/01\/democrat-iowa-tests-whether-attacking-schumer-pays-off\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/06\/01\/democrat-iowa-tests-whether-attacking-schumer-pays-off\/\">During an event in Mason City, Iowa, last month<\/a> that our colleague <b>Theodoric Meyer<\/b> attended, Wahls said, \u201cIt is going to be a hell of a lot easier to win back the voters whose trust this party has lost with a candidate who can look them in the eye and tell them with a straight face: I don\u2019t owe Chuck Schumer or anybody else in Washington, D.C., a damn thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wahls certainly had more messaging, but his steadfast position as an anti-Schumer candidate \u2014 and the fact that he tried to tie the VoteVets deluge to Schumer \u2014 dominated the coverage of him.<\/p>\n<p>People close to Wahls disputed that his loss had anything to do with his anti-Schumer messaging, arguing instead that it was nearly impossible to overcome the $10 million in outside spending in a state that has is famously low ad spends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey bought him the seat. &#8230; It\u2019s really, really hard to beat getting outspent to that degree,\u201d said an operative close to Wahls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all the money,\u201d said another operative.<\/p>\n<p>VoteVets celebrated the win Tuesday night and pledged to \u201ccontinue the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVeterans across America are proud to congratulate Josh Turek on his decisive victory in today\u2019s Iowa Senate primary,\u201d said Major General (Ret.) <b>Paul Eaton<\/b>, a senior adviser to the group. \u201cJosh knows firsthand what it means to fight through adversity.\u201d Turek is not a veteran, but his father served in Vietnam.

He\u2019ll still handle his current portfolio overseeing the federal mortgage regulation agency while overseeing the intelligence community. Trump didn\u2019t mention if he would nominate Pulte to do the job permanently, which would require Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Pulte is a close Trump ally who has used his government position to accuse several of the president\u2019s political enemies of mortgage fraud. He also amplified Trump\u2019s calls to oust former Federal Reserve chair <b>Jerome H. Powell<\/b> and got into a fight with Treasury Secretary <b>Scott Bessent<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats were furious at Pulte\u2019s nomination. The DNI must, by law, have \u201cextensive national security experience,\u201d and even Senate Majority Leader <b>John Thune<\/b> (R-South Dakota) said \u201cwe don\u2019t need a weaponized DNI. We need professionals there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pulte replaces<b> Tulsi Gabbard<\/b>, who said last month she would step down from the position to be with her husband, who was diagnosed with bone cancer. She will formally finish her term at the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>The Office of the Director of National Intelligence doesn\u2019t have any hands-on role in covert intelligence gathering. The position was created in the aftermath of 9\/11 and is tasked with coordinating the 18 agencies that make up the U.S. Intelligence Community. Under Gabbard, the ODNI shrank and focused more on domestic priorities. Gabbard, who was vocally opposed to foreign intervention as a Democratic congresswoman, was conspicuously absent from public events on major operations in Venezuela and Iran.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/06\/02\/trump-picks-mortgage-chief-bill-pulte-lead-national-intelligence\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/06\/02\/trump-picks-mortgage-chief-bill-pulte-lead-national-intelligence\/\">Read more from<\/a> <b>Warren P.
