Mike Rogers Calls for End to Iran War, Cites Rising Costs
Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers said he now supports an immediate end to the war with Iran, linking the conflict to higher grocery and fuel prices as he campaigns against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. Rogers, who had previously backed the Trump administration’s strike on Iran, also floated a temporary ban on U. S.
diesel exports to ease pressure on Michigan families. Earlier in the campaign, fellow Republican Senate hopefuls such as Ashley Hinson of Iowa also called for a swift cease-fire, despite having voted against prior House resolutions to halt the fighting. Their calls echoed a broader shift among GOP candidates, who cited rising energy costs, voter fatigue and unfavorable polls as reasons to abandon the Iran strategy, even as President Trump continued to endorse the ongoing operation.
