Must See: Joe Mitchell’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Debate Night

DUBUQUE, IA - In last night’s Iowa PBS debate, Joe Mitchell doubled down on the policies causing high food, housing, and utilities prices, kept supporting a war that is killing Iowans and causing fuel prices to skyrocket, vowed to repeal the ACA, and had nothing to say to rural hospital leaders who are facing a $1 billion shortfall because of the One Big Beautiful Bill. 

MOMENTS TO WATCH:

  • When asked, “You’ve called the Affordable Care Act a disaster. Would you vote to repeal it?,” Joe Mitchell said,  “Yeah, I would vote to repeal it.”

  • When asked about his response to the rural hospital leaders sounding the alarm about the billions in rural health care cuts Mitchell backs, he had zero answers. 

  • When asked about the War Powers Resolution in the House of Representatives, Joe Mitchell said, “I think the resolutions that have been put up most recently by Democrats have been a knee-jerk and partisan action to defy the president.” Fact check: those were bipartisan resolutions. He even told Punchbowl News that he would have voted to keep funding the war.
