The two-week temporary ceasefire has done little to quell GOP fears about the war in Iran costing the party seats in November.
Republicans are relieved over Trump’s steps toward reconciliation in Iran — but they worry the measures are too little, too late to save them from a brutal midterm election cycle.
Behind the public celebration by many Republicans of the temporary two-week ceasefire announcement, longtime party operatives continue to warn of a bleak political reality as the cost-of-living concerns around the war including spiking gas prices that are likely to continue for weeks if not longer even if the fragile ceasefire holds.
A person close to the White House, granted anonymity to speak candidly, put it bluntly.
“This war in Iran almost cements the fact that we lose the midterms in November — the Senate and House,” the person said.
They are gonnna rig the elections. It’s pretty clear. But that will only happen if they have elections in the first place; something far from granted.
I’m equally worried about the republican voter base. So many of these people will hammer down and vote republican no matter what happens.
Many of them still think Trump is the greatest leader to ever walk this earth. They see everything terrible he is doing and still praise his actions. It’s insanity
Counterpoint: they haven’t been so far this year
Yeah, but the pedo GOP have completely lost the independents, a larger cohort than either the GOP or democrats.
