Unreal @unclemark, can you believe the nerve of this lady?  She should be ashamed of herself, “bailing” instead of staying & leeching off of the public until she’s catatonic like Feinstein or overstay their usefulness like countless others.

She's a RINO and her constituents hate her.  No surprise that she's leaving.

She's voted in lockstep with Trump on anything that mattered.

What are the things she’s gone against Trump on that don’t matter?

As a Republican senator, Joni Ernst has generally voted in line with Donald Trump's agenda but has publicly broken with him on specific issues

. She voted to acquit Trump during both of his impeachment trials. Her instances of voting against or disagreeing with Trump include: 

 
Criticisms of trade policy and farm aid
  • During the Trump administration, Ernst expressed concern about the negative effects of the trade war with China on Iowa farmers.
  • In a May 2025 town hall, she was confronted by a constituent over Medicaid cuts in a "big, beautiful bill" that included farm aid. Ernst's response, "we all are going to die," was seen as dismissive of Trump's agenda. 
  •  
 
Troop withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan
  • In 2019, Ernst broke with the Trump administration's foreign policy by supporting an amendment that opposed his plan for a "precipitous withdrawal" of troops from Syria and Afghanistan. 
  •  
 
Vote on same-sex marriage
  • Ernst voted for the Respect for Marriage Act in 2022, a bill that codified same-sex marriage protections. This vote angered many Trump supporters who opposed the measure. 
  •  
 
Nomination of Pete Hegseth
  • In early 2025, Ernst initially hesitated to back Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. Ernst, who is a survivor of sexual assault, had concerns over Hegseth's past comments and allegations.
  • She ultimately voted for his confirmation, but her initial opposition led to pressure from Trump allies. 
  •  
 
Foreign aid bill
  • In February 2024, Ernst voted for a $95 billion foreign aid package that provided assistance to Ukraine and Israel. This was a bipartisan bill that a majority of her party, including many Trump allies, voted against. 
  •  
 
Endorsement during the 2024 campaign
  • Before the Iowa caucuses that kicked off the 2024 presidential primary, Ernst declined to endorse Trump. 
  •  
 
Initial hesitation regarding Trump
  • When Trump was first running for president in 2016, Ernst did not endorse him before the Iowa caucuses.

Wow, so none of these things matter by your estimation.

Talk is cheap. When Trump needed a vote, Joni delivered.

She flirted with DeSantis and Haley.  Fatal mistake.

Kim Reynolds was the most popular governor in America before endorsing DeSantis.  Afterwards she had the highest disapproval rating of any governor in the country per Morning Consult.  FAFO.

What a super healthy dynamic to have in a political party.   🙄

If you think the endorsement had anything to do with it you're delusional.
