Video still from Josh Turek’s campaign video featuring President Barack Obama. Former President Barack Obama endorsed Josh Turek on Wednesday. The endorsement came in a Turek campaign video, featuring Obama and the Democratic nominee for Iowa’s open U.S. Senate seat playing basketball in a gym. “We’re playing IOWA,” Turek responds. In the video, Obama and Turek discuss who they’d put on an NBA version of Mount Rushmore as they trade off shooting twos and threes.
