America First? War in Iran threatens to split Trump’s MAGA coalition.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump distanced himself from Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host and podcaster, saying Carlson `has lost his way` and is no longer aligned with the MAGA movement after condemning the U.S.-Israel strikes.
  • The United States and Israel launched joint strikes against Iran almost a week ago, while recent weeks saw private appeals to avoid escalation, as Trump denied Israeli pressure in the Oval Office.
  • In Congress, GOP senators largely voted against a war‑powers resolution, with Sen. Rand Paul the lone GOP supporter, despite an NBC poll finding 9 in 10 MAGA Republicans backed the strikes.
  • Analysts caution the Iran war could hurt Republicans in November as prominent MAGA influencers warn of lost support and lower turnout, with some saying Republican voters may never vote again.
  • Carlson linked the conflict to religious claims, suggesting a Third Temple effort tied to Chabad, while far-right figure Nick Fuentes, with more than 1.2 million followers on X, amplified opposition as Israel deepened GOP divisions in recent years.
