GOP Senator Warns Trump War Will Spell Disaster for Republicans

Sen. Rand Paul is breaking with President Donald Trump’s aggressive Iran policy—and warning the conflict could hand Democrats a powerful weapon heading into the looming midterm elections.

The Kentucky Republican appeared on Mornings with Maria on Fox Business Tuesday morning, where host Maria Bartiromo pressed him about the growing U.S. military campaign against Iran. An escalating conflict that the senator says has put Republicans further “behind the 8-ball” as the military operation enters its 11th day.

Paul, who has long warned against U.S. military entanglements in the Middle East, said the conflict risks spiraling into a prolonged war that could backfire politically for Republicans.
