Fresh off her viral turn on Bill Maher’s show, The Des Moines Register reports that Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin is headed to… Iowa.
U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., will hold a town hall in Des Moines focused on health care with Democratic congressional hopeful Sarah Trone Garriott during a coming visit to Iowa.
Slotkin’s visit to meet with swing voters in Iowa and campaign for Democratic congressional hopefuls comes as she boosts her national presence ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Slotkin posted this clip on X yesterday, and notice what’s in there (it’s the economy, stupid) and what’s not in there. (Iran, Israel, culture wars).

She often refers to this as her Four Corners Pitch.
The thing threatening our country more than Russia, China, or Iran is America’s shrinking middle class. This moment calls for us to go on offense – focusing ruthlessly on lowering costs for the Four Corners of the Kitchen Table: housing, healthcare, food, and electricity bills. pic.twitter.com/z9wYwb9buB

Slotkin is only at .3% on Kalshi, well behind her state’s governor Gretchen Whitmer, whom Axios has noted multiple times over the past year seems to be losing her fire for running for president.
Keep an eye on Slotkin if you’re thinking Michigan entry into the race. Oh, and Pete, I guess.
Here’s one of many notable moments on Maher — after which he remarked she could run for president.
My plea to my own party is: Show people that we give a shit and be simple about addressing the needs that they care about. I'm here to be a part of that change. pic.twitter.com/VqDTGPOSlE
