Republicans Distance Themselves from Trump on Iran Conflict Ahead of Midterms
Ahead of the November midterm elections, some Republican lawmakers and candidates are distancing themselves from President Donald Trump, particularly over the US military actions against Iran. Democrats are pushing for a Senate vote on a war-powers resolution to require Trump to end the conflict or seek congressional approval. While some Republicans support Trump, others in competitive races criticize the Iran conflict due to its impact on fuel prices and household budgets. Previous congressional votes on the issue have been largely symbolic, with limited effect on policy.
