One of the Make America Great Again movement's biggest stars shared a blistering warning for President Donald Trump during a new interview on Monday.
Megyn Kelly, who hosts an eponymous radio show on SiriusXM, warned Trump during an interview with Piers Morgan on his YouTube show that he risks sinking the Republican Party's chances in the upcoming 2026 midterm election and the 2028 general election by continuing the disastrous war in Iran. Kelly added that losing the House seems likely, and losing the Senate has become more likely, according to some polling.
"We assume we're going to lose the House on Team GOP, but now more and more political pundits are predicting that the Republicans are going to lose the Senate as well," Kelly said "And the map doesn't get any easier for Republicans two years after these midterms when we go into 2028 with a presidential election and yet another election for House members in some Senate seats. So all the math is bad. We don't have the cards to play."
Trump has claimed that he started the war in Iran to prevent the regime from having a nuclear weapon. He's even gone so far as to claim that he "doesn't care about the midterms" so long as Iran never has a nuclear warhead. That claim has not sat well with Republicans and their voters, who are facing a cost-of-living crisis at home.
Kelly added that Trump might make those problems worse if he doesn't withdraw the military from Iran soon.
"It's already a quagmire. Yes, it's only 13 weeks [old] or whatever it is, but it's already a quagmire because there's no easy solution left even if we just pack up our bags and leave, which is what we should do."
