Why a Growing Number of Republicans Are Breaking With Trump on Iran
Some Republican candidates in competitive midterm races are calling for a quick end to an ongoing Iran war, citing polling that shows limited public support. These candidates are diverging from former President Trump, who continues to support his Iran strategy and has indicated he may pursue escalation. The split between Trump and these Republicans extends beyond Iran to issues including immigration, trade, and campaign strategy as the midterm elections approach.
