๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ทโก๏ธ โ President Trump's allies and White House officials are blaming the prolonged war with Iran for widespread Republican losses in the midterm elections, citing soaring energy prices and growing public dissatisfaction, WSJ reports.

The setbacks have triggered internal finger-pointing within the administration, with some officials suggesting Trump could consider personnel changes as part of a broader reassessment of the war.
