Trump Points to Iran War as Part of Why Republicans Lost the Midterms
President Trump says the Iran war is partly to blame for Republican losses in the midterms, according to a WSJ report. He also made clear he has no regrets about the decision to launch it. The admission ties a unpopular conflict directly to his party's electoral damage.
President Trump is pointing at the Iran war as one reason Republicans took losses in the midterms, according to the Wall Street Journal. He said the conflict is partly to blame for his party's results at the ballot box.
The striking part: Trump still says he doesn't regret starting it. No walking it back, no second-guessing the call, per WSJ — just an acknowledgment that it cost his party.
The report landed via Cointelegraph on X, which flagged the WSJ comments. It's a rare moment of a president tying a wartime decision to election consequences in the same breath as defending it.
Trump has not signaled any shift in course on Iran despite the political fallout he now describes. The midterm damage, in his telling, is real — the regret simply isn't there.
