Trump Admits Iran Conflict Might Impact November Midterm Elections
ZeroHedge ·
President Trump acknowledged on Thursday that an ongoing war with Iran could potentially cost him the November midterms by threatening Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump noted that while preventing a nuclear-armed Iran should theoretically help his party, the conflict carries electoral risks. Roughly 9,000 additional U.S. troops are currently deploying to the Middle East alongside the USS Roosevelt strike group. Despite congressional awareness of these political dangers, lawmakers have repeatedly voted down War Powers resolutions. Meanwhile, Trump has urged Republican base voters to treat the upcoming midterm elections as a referendum on his leadership, warning that a loss could jeopardize critical policies including tax cuts and border security.
