火曜日に行われたアイオワ州知事選の共和党予備選挙で、ザック・ラーン氏がトランプ前大統領の支持を受けたランディ・フェーンストラ下院議員を2,000票未満の僅差で破り、指名を獲得した。この番狂わせにより、予備選でのトランプ氏の連勝記録が止まった。
得票率はラーン氏が37.79％、フェーンストラ氏が37.01％だった。3期務める現職下院議員のフェーンストラ氏は、年初から求めていたトランプ氏の推薦を予備選のわずか4日前に取り付けたばかりだった。フェーンストラ氏は敗北を認め、11月の本選で民主党のロブ・サンド氏と対決するラーン氏を支持すると誓った。実業家で元共和党工作員のラーン氏は、MAHA ActionやTurning Point Actionといった政治活動委員会（PAC）の支援を受け、アウトサイダーとして選挙戦を展開した。選挙戦において、フェーンストラ氏はラーン氏を約100万ドル上回る選挙資金を投じていた。今回の予備選は、キム・レイノルズ共和党州知事が再選を目指さないと決定したことを受けて行われた。
