Grassley backs Nussle as GOP best bet to defeat Harkin
Iowa politics center on Rep Jim Nussle as the strongest GOP challenger to Sen. Tom Harkin in 1996. Grassley argues a Nussle Senate bid offers high fundraising potential but risks losing House seniority and jeopardizes a reelection bid in the 2nd District.
