DeSantis Says Iran War Could Hurt Republicans in Midterm Elections
DeSantis said the Iran conflict is driving up gas prices and hurting GOP prospects, warning that Republicans must be honest with voters.
- Appearing Monday on the Straight Shooter with Stephen A. podcast, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis urged Republicans, including President Donald Trump, to stop "gaslighting" voters regarding the Iran conflict's economic impact.
- National gasoline prices hit approximately $4.15 per gallon Tuesday, according to AAA, up from about $2.98 before the conflict began in late February, placing direct financial pressure on working-class Americans.
- DeSantis criticized Trump for engaging in an open-ended Middle East conflict after campaigning against such wars, contrasting it with the swift military operation in Venezuela.
- These higher costs have become a political liability for the Republican Party heading into Tuesday's midterm elections, with DeSantis saying candidates are "running into the wind" as Democrats gain momentum.
- Warning that a prolonged war could devastate the president's ability to govern, DeSantis cautioned the political fallout will make the next election cycle very difficult for Republicans.
