The Iran War Crisis Is Hurting MAGA...Will It Hand Dems The Midterms?
from The Don Lemon Show · host Lemon Media Network
This morning, we break down the nonstop confusion surrounding the Iran war. Is the conflict winding down, or are we right back on the brink again? The messaging keeps changing by the hour. One minute the ceasefire is “holding,” the next there are new attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and fresh threats flying back and forth. And then there’s the Strait itself. The administration’s latest “goal” is to reopen it… even though global shipping was flowing before this conflict spiraled in the first place. Meanwhile, gas prices remain painfully high and Americans are left wondering what exactly the strategy is supposed to be. Then we turn to the primaries, where early polling and election results are giving Democrats reasons for optimism heading into the midterms. With Trump’s approval numbers slipping and cracks continuing to show inside MAGA, is the political landscape starting to shift? This episode is brought to you by Aura Frames.
