GOP frustration with Trump over Iran grows
A growing number of Republicans are publicly sharing their frustration with the Trump administration as the war with Iran continues.
Puck News’ Leigh Ann Caldwell says Republicans on Capitol Hill are not happy with the “lack of answers” from the administration about the war, including the objectives and information on funding requests.
“There’s still lots of questions about what the money is going to be used for, how much specifically is needed, how much will be needed in the future,” Caldwell told guest moderator Vivian Salama.
“When members of Congress are asked to fund billions and billions of dollars, when their constituents are the ones who are being put on the line for this, patience obviously wears quite thin,” she added. “But, I will say, it is not manifesting in a rebuke to the president.”
