Rand Paul Bluntly Tells Fox's Bartiromo the Midterm Elections Will Be Disastrous' for GOP

"I don't think split party is the problem. I think high oil prices will be a problem. I think the 2026 election's already we are behind the eight ball as far as the electoral process. I think if you add in high gas prices, high oil prices, and if we are still bombing Iran with kinetic action people don't want to call it war but if there's still kinetic action that causes oil to be over $100, I think you're gonna see a disastrous election."

"If this turns into a full-on regime change, forever war kind of prolonged, protracted situation, that's something that's going to prove to be very unpopular in this midterm year. I believe, and very strongly, that younger voters are not going to be on board with this because they are war weary."

Senator Rand Paul warned that the 2026 midterm elections could be disastrous for Republicans, citing high oil prices and potential military action against Iran as primary concerns rather than party division. Paul emphasized that elevated gas and oil prices, particularly if resulting from ongoing military operations, could significantly damage Republican electoral prospects. Jack Posobiec similarly cautioned that prolonged military conflict with Iran would prove unpopular, especially among younger voters who are war-weary. Recent polling indicates Trump's support among young men who voted for him in 2024 has declined, suggesting potential vulnerability in this demographic during upcoming midterm elections.
