John Heilemann: There Is a Big Fight Happening Within the Republican Party Over Iran Issue

HEILEMANN: “The war right now is, popular with about a third of the country. And what explains that you expect Democrats to be against it, but is that there's a decent sized chunk of the Republican electorate that doesn't like it. And those people, the Tucker Carlsons, the Marjorie Taylor Greenes of the world, they are speaking for a part of Trump's coalition that cared about the no war promises of Donald Trump, that cared about his isolationist commitments that for 10 years he said, no more endless wars, no more -- no more wars at all. I'm a peacemaker, literally came out and said over and over, I don't want to wage war against Iran. That was a overlooked, I think an underestimated part of why he was such a potent candidate in 2016 and 2020 and 2024 and those people feel after all of the things they've seen, after all of the military aggression that he's engaged in over the last year, they've had enough. This is the kind of straw on this issue. I'm not saying in total they're abandoning Donald Trump, but man, there's a big fight happening in the Republican Party over this issue.”
