These GOP Candidates Are Turning On Trump's Iran War

Several Republican candidates in tight races are coming out against the war President Donald Trump started with Iran.Since February’s start of the war, more than a dozen U.S. service members have died, and gas and oil prices continue to skyrocket.

The war has already cost taxpayers nearly $40 billion since it began, and has no clear end in sight as Iran continues to hold dominion over the Strait of Hormuz ― a major international shipping lane that has affected the global economy with its closure.Rep. Ashley Hinson, an Iowa Republican lawmaker running for Senate, on Monday in a post on X called for an end to the war, saying in part that Iowans “shouldn’t have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line for the war in Iran.”Hinson’s post was particularly surprising given she has voted against House resolutions to end the war at least six times, including one just last week.A woman holds a caricature of President Donald Trump as she attends the state-organized "Janfada," or "Sacrifice for Iran," military-style parade in Tehran, Iran, on Sept.
