According to the Walla website, a New York Times investigation reveals that senior advisors to US President Donald Trump were deeply concerned about the political consequences of the war with Iran prior to the midterm elections. The report indicates that internal data showed support for Republicans declined as conflicts intensified and fuel prices rose. Despite efforts by Vice President J.D. Vance to reach an understanding with Iran, internal pressure from the hardline wing of the Republican Party prevented its realization. Trump reportedly asked in private meetings what the election outcome might have been had they not entered the war with Iran. Ultimately, Democrats capitalized on the situation, criticizing the economic costs of the war, and secured a majority in both houses of Congress. A spokesperson for MAGA Inc. denied the report, labeling it as false gossip.
