Trump Tells NRCC Dinner Iran War Jolt Is Temporary and Predicts Bigger GOP Majorities Despite Economic and Political Warning Signs

At a National Republican Congressional Committee dinner at Washington’s Union Station, former President Trump predicted “bigger majorities” for Republicans in both the House and Senate after the midterms, characterizing the U.S. campaign against Iran as a decisive win and dismissing economic disruptions — from near-$4 gas to airport chaos — as a temporary “blip” while touting stock-market gains and pre‑war low gas prices. But fresh polling and political signals — including voter concern that the Iran campaign has gone too far, rising affordability worries, the Democratic flip of Florida’s 87th District, and criticism from lawmakers like Sen. Lisa Murkowski about poor communication on Iran and troop plans — suggest liabilities for Republicans.
