It's the Steve Day Show and here's what happened while we were away, brought you by a massive upset in the Hawkeye State.

In what is the biggest upset of this primary cycle so far, businessman and farmer Zach Lane defeated four other candidates in the Iowa Republican gubernatorial primary, including Congressman Randy Feinstra, who garnered the late endorsement of President Trump.

Lane won the race by less than a percentage point and fewer than 1,700 votes out of nearly 215,000 total votes cast.

What was Lane's winning coalition? Well, he seemed to fuse together evangelicals,

make America healthy again, TPUSA, and the late encouragement from Steve himself

to Iowa Republican voters to cast their ballots strategically to stop Randy Feinstra, a very weak

candidate from winning the nomination.

Feinstra in a class move called Lane late last night to concede despite the race's very

tight results.

Here is the message in part during Lane's victory speech that resonated with a critical enough mass of Iowa Republicans to overcome the strong field of candidates.

They treat Iowa land like it's a commodity instead of our inheritance.

They treat us like numbers, not neighbors.

It has the fastest growing cancer rate in the world.

We all know something is terribly wrong,

but too many politicians from Washington, D.C. to Des Moines

have had their heads stuck in the sand while Big Ag and Big Pharma printed money.

This will not go on when I'm governor.

Iowans are going to funerals for people dying at 60 whose parents live to be 80.

We are losing the wisdom of a generation. We have to use every resource we have to
