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.


It amazes me how many of them are in hard bubbles. I work with tradesmen, some of them are just the worst fucking people. I had one tell me yesterday that at least Hegseth is assertive unlike ‘that black guy that went awol for heart surgery’. I’m convinced absolutely nothing will sway about 25% of the population. It’s psychopathic.
Thankfully a decent portion of those imbeciles don’t vote
WTF? Of course they vote, they vote HARD! The Conservative Propaganda Machine is constantly hyping them up to vote against the Liberals and their Woke. That’s why they control all three branches of government. How do you think that happened if they don’t vote?
Claiming they don’t vote is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.
Worked with plenty of anti woke guys who never voted in their entire life, and never would, just cuz they live in a major city in Cali. Obviously not applicable everywhere
He should just do his mail in voting in advance then offer to take the muppets for a beer on election day.
There is no way they are making it to the polling stations.
