Everyone knows Beth, the beloved Hoover vacuum that belonged to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley. Every holiday, Beth made her obligatory appearance as the workhorse that kept Grassley's house clean for family and guests, and she had done so faithfully for decades.
I usually send this picture of FAITHFUL BETH b4 starting the drudgery of getting farmhouse ready for the the family coming for thanksgiving BUT since Beth is 40/50 years old I’m sending when I’m done FAITHFUL BETH DELIVERED pic.twitter.com/A3w2SgxiX4

She was a staple of Grassley's holiday timeline.

Sadly, on August 8, Beth vacuumed her last carpet, with an electrical problem making her unsafe to use.
"U will see Beth no more," Grassley wrote on X. "See black that's from electrical sparks. It's not safe to use anymore. GOOD BYE BETH. U hv been a real workhorse ... I will miss u."

X users mourned the passing of our beloved Beth, who worked in the Grassley home for 49 years.
It’s a sad day at Grassley household…. For my 34 years and 15 yrs before that at my mother in law’s home Beth has worked dependably….

But never fear, because an Iowan heard of Beth's demise and reached out to Grassley to offer him a newer Hoover who will become Beth 2.0

Imagine Beth 2.0 in the Oval Office.

Here's hoping Beth 2.0 serves as faithfully as her predecessor.
