Comment on Grassley unswayed by latest polling, hints he will run in 2022

Hinting that he will seek another term, U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said he will not be swayed by recent polling that shows a majority of Iowans, including a third of Iowa Republicans, hope he decides not to seek another term in 2022.“You don’t make a decision to run based upon anything other than taking your work into consideration, taking your family into consideration and visiting with a lot of Iowans,” Grassley told Iowa reporters Wednesday on a weekly conference call.A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll released last week found just 28 percent of 775 Iowa adults surveyed hope the 87-year-old decides to seek an eighth term, and 55 percent said they hope he does not.
