Lara Trump said the Iran war could cost Republicans the midterms. Here's how the president responded.
A member of Trump's family addressed a risk that the White House has largely sought to downplay: The Iran war could cost Republicans the midterms.
Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, suggested during an appearance on YouTube that the ongoing war in Iran could cost Republicans control of the midterms. The conflict has contributed to rising economic issues, including inflation and higher gas prices, which could influence voter sentiment. When asked about the impact of the war on the midterms, the president at the White House stated it was possible but argued that having Iran without a nuclear weapon would help the Republican cause.
