Trump Says Iran Conflict Will Not Affect US Midterm Elections

US President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that the situation regarding Iran would not affect the outcome of the upcoming Congressional midterm elections in November. “It will not affect me. I am just doing the right thing,” Trump told reporters. Analysts have suggested that the Republican Party risks losing control of the House of Representatives to the Democratic Party. Experts link the risk of losing the Congressional majority to declining public satisfaction with the government amid military operations against Iran and rising prices.
