President Trump once called him 'the world's most conservative human being,' but many top Iowa Republicans have abandoned Rep. Steve King over his history of offensive and racist comments. Now, he's fighting to hang onto his seat.

Weeks before the 2018 midterm, President Trump stood before a packed arena in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and singled out Rep. Steve King — then running for his ninth term.

King has a history of making offensive comments. Republican operative and Sioux City resident Omar Marquez lives in King's district. Marquez, who used to work in Washington D.C., used to support King and says he defended him when people asked why he kept getting elected. But King's past statements aren't the main part of the debate in this primary. Instead, the focus is on King's clout.

Another Feenstra supporter is David Kochel, a GOP campaign strategist who says it's time for King to go.
