Three debates among the four Democratic candidates running for U.S. Senate in Iowa took place this week ahead of the June 2 primary.

Two debates were televised live and one was conducted virtually.

The winner of the upcoming primary will face first-term Republican Sen. Joni Ernst in the general election. Ernst is one of 23 Senate Republicans up for reelection this year as they try to hold the chamber and the presidency. Twelve Democrats are defending their Senate seats this year.
