Will Trump's Iran strikes hit him in the ballots?

from The News Agents - USA

Why did Trump decide to strike Iran? Was it the US that started the war? Is it even a war? Listening to senior figures in the administration and in MAGA it's not entirely clear.

Polling suggests only one in four Americans back the strikes - and a series of Trump influencers have reacted with fury to the move. This is another war from the President who pledged to end them. With the midterms critical for Trump's future, could this intervention become a massive own goal if gas prices rise and voters turn away from the GOP?This week, Jon is joined by Michael D.

Or does Talarico represent a generational shift in the party?The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
