TRUMP: "A PART OF IT WAS IRAN"

By The Vote Desk Β·

President Trump acknowledged Wednesday that the war with Iran contributed to the Republican losses in Tuesday's midterms.

🎀 Speaking to Fox News:
"I think a part of it was Iran."

β›½ He pointed to higher gasoline prices, saying voters were not willing to accept those short-term costs.

🀝 He also gave rare credit to his opponents:
"I think the Democrats did a good job, I really do."

Trump said he was "a little bit surprised" by the results β€” and, per Fox News, vowed to veto what he called "insane" Democratic bills.

Was the Iran war the deciding factor? πŸ‘‡
