“Six months into a conflict that President Donald Trump predicted would last ‘four to five weeks,’ Republican strategists worry there’s no way to keep the Iran war from hurting the party’s prospects in November’s midterm elections,” Bloomberg reports.
“The continuing hostilities have demoralized GOP voters, who sent Trump to the White House in order to tame inflation and keep the U.S. out of overseas conflicts.”
“Compounding Republican fears is the president’s apparent lack of concern, even as the unpopular conflict drags down his approval rating and polls showing rising voter frustration with the war and the high gas prices and stubborn inflation it’s fueled.”
