US President Donald Trump has said it is 'largely true' that Republicans lost the midterms because of the war with Iran, which he said drove gasoline prices up in the short term.
Trump said he would do the same again, and that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon. The admission follows Vice President JD Vance making the same argument a day earlier.
Why it matters: when a president ties his own party's defeat to a war he is still fighting, it turns that war into a domestic political liability and raises the pressure for a way out.
