Trump Says Iran War and Pain at the Pump Cost Republicans at Midterms
President Donald Trump acknowledged the Iran war hurt the Republican Party's midterm showing, pointing to voter frustration over surging gas prices. He told reporters the conflict was something the U.S. "had to do" and is still doing, per the AP.
President Donald Trump said the war with Iran dragged down his party in the midterm elections, pointing to voter anger over rising gas prices as a key reason. He made the admission to reporters, according to the Associated Press.
Trump didn't second-guess the decision. Asked about the political fallout, he framed the conflict as necessary work that isn't finished.
His explanation lands on the pump: surging fuel costs, he suggested, left voters frustrated heading into the ballot box.
Trump offered no further detail on the scale of the damage or what comes next, per the AP. He also gave no signal that the war effort is winding down — his words were that the U.S. continues to do it.
