On this week’s edition of the On Iowa Politics podcast: DeJear is running, party crashers, leaving Afghanistan, and Biden vs Reynolds.

On Iowa Politics is a weekly news and analysis podcast that aims to re-create the kinds of conversations that happen when you get political reporters from across Iowa together after the day's deadlines have been met.

This week’s show is hosted by The Gazette’s James Lynch and features Amie Rivers of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Tom Barton of the Quad City Times, and Gazette Opinion Editor Todd Dorman.
