DeSantis: War in Iran 'big, big drag' on Republicans
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Outgoing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the war in Iran is a "big, big drag" on Republican candidates this midterm cycle, citing the conflict and the high gas prices it has driven as damaging to the GOP. DeSantis made the remarks Monday night during an appearance with sports and political commentator Stephen A. Smith on SiriusXM. The comments matter because they publicly acknowledge midterm headwinds from the war and fuel costs from a prominent Republican figure. Watch whether other GOP candidates echo the criticism and whether gas prices ease before November.
