Republicans are desperately hoping Donald Trump’s war in Iran will end soon over fears it will severely damage the GOP in the midterms.
Speaking to Politico’s Playbook newsletter, one Republican strategist close to the White House said they had “no problem blowing up the Iranians,” but were concerned about how much time the Middle East conflict could consume in the run-up to November’s elections.
“When you’re at war, that is 75 percent of your time. This is what [chief of staff Susie Wiles] is gonna be doing, this is what [deputy chief of staff] James Blair will be doing. This is what senior staff will be dealing with. And that is a problem,” the insider said.
