Just before the elections - Republicans begin to distance themselves from Trump: "It needs to end quickly"

Ahead of the US midterm elections, Republican candidates in key states are starting to distance themselves from President Trump on the issue of the war with Iran. A CNN poll shows a drop in public support for the war, with a sharp decline among Republicans themselves. Gas prices are soaring, and fear of voters is changing the campaign.

Ahead of the US midterm elections, Republican candidates in key states are beginning to distance themselves from President Trump on the issue of the war with Iran. A CNN poll released this week shows that only 26 percent of Americans approve of the president's handling of the crisis, down from 33 percent in the first month of fighting. The sharpest decline was among Republicans themselves, with only 60 percent now supporting the president's actions. The political consequences stem directly from the surge in prices: the average price per gallon of gasoline in the US has jumped to $4.47, while diesel has reached a record $6.53. Trump called the prices "a very cheap price to pay for what we've done." Democrats argue that the Republican zigzag is purely political and note that the same candidates recently voted to continue the fighting. White House spokesman Davis Ingle stated that Trump is the undisputed leader of the party.
