Leaked audio: Paxton says Iran war and gas prices hurting Republicans

Original: Paxton admits Trump’s Iran war and US gas prices are plaguing Republicans in leaked audio

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been caught on leaked audio admitting that Donald Trump's war with Iran and rising US gas prices are creating political problems for Republicans, according to The Guardian. The remarks, made privately but now public, suggest senior party figures privately recognise the political cost of the conflict and inflation at the pump, even as the party publicly defends the administration's approach.

Why now: A senior Republican privately conceding political damage from Trump's Iran war and gas prices is awkward for the party and fuels debate over the conflict's costs.
