A Tough Time to Be a Republican on Capitol Hill

Punchbowl News: “Dragged by President Donald Trump into another war in the Middle East, the GOP’s problems are growing worse every day, and there’s no sign things have hit bottom yet.”

“Trump and top administration officials have struggled to come up with a clear rationale for the U.S. war on Iran, agree on a timeline for ending it or define what victory looks like. Early polling shows a majority of Americans oppose the war. The conflict has rattled global financial markets, and oil prices have spiked. That means higher costs for gas and food when millions are already struggling to pay their bills.”

“Some Republicans want Trump to just declare victory and end the war right now.”
