Bohannan Unseats Miller-Meeks in Iowa, Flipping Key House Seat

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 4 November 2026 and 4 November 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Discontent about the war with Iran and tariffs helped create a tough environment for Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks, the defeated Republican.

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Annie Andrews winning the South Carolina Senate race and frame it as a notable flip from Republican hands. The New York Times is the only outlet here to call it “the first big surprise of election night” and to say its analysis focuses on Darline Graham’s missteps, while The Guardian alone adds that Andrews ran on healthcare affordability and NBC News broadens the framing to Democrats flipping seats in deep-red states overall. CBS News and The Hill also mention other Senate races in their coverage, but only as separate items.
