Lara Trump says Iran war could cost Trump the midterms
- On Tuesday, Lara Trump acknowledged on 'Harry Cole Saves the West' that the ongoing Iran war could cost Republicans in the midterm elections, though she maintained that preventing Iran's nuclear capabilities remains a necessary priority for President Donald Trump.
- Spanning seven months since February, the conflict triggered the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and disrupted global trade, cutting off roughly 20% of oil exports while driving inflation that experts say could determine close midterm races.
- Recent polling from Economist/YouGov and Fox News shows 61 percent of Americans want a deal to end the conflict, with 60 percent believing military action was the wrong decision, marking a sharp shift since April when 68 percent supported the war.
- President Trump frames higher gas prices as a 'very inexpensive price to pay' to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions, even as Democrats currently lead the generic congressional ballot with 50.6 percent compared to 42.3 percent for the GOP.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has signaled interest in a peace deal before November, yet Lara Trump emphasized the president views the nuclear threat as a critical security issue that outweighs potential losses in the House or Senate.
