How Iran war impacts support for Trump and US Republicans
At the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas, DW explored how the US war against Iran is dividing conservatives.
While many core MAGA supporters still back Donald Trump, some influential right‑wing voices openly criticize the conflict and rising fuel prices.
Interviews with attendees reveal a mix of loyalty, anxiety about another Middle East war, and doubts about Trump’s promises to end “endless wars.”
Polls show strong Republican support for the military action, but significantly less among non‑MAGA voters. Analysts warn that escalating the war or sending ground troops could deepen rifts within the party and threaten Republican unity ahead of the midterms.
