Leaked audio: Paxton says Trump's 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 recorded acknowledging in private remarks that President Trump's military confrontation with Iran and rising US gasoline prices are creating serious political problems for Republicans. The leaked audio, reported by The Guardian, offers a candid assessment from a senior Trump ally of the party's vulnerabilities on war and the cost of living, and is fueling discussion of internal GOP anxiety heading into upcoming elections.
Why now: A loyal Trump ally privately conceding the Iran war and gas prices are political liabilities is damaging and newsworthy for Republicans.
