GOP midterms strategy: Make it a "hate election"

Rising gas prices, driven by the collapse of the Iran deal and renewed combat, are complicating the GOP's midterm outlook. While falling prices typically ease voter anger over inflation, current escalations have pushed costs upward. Consequently, some Republicans admit a bleak forecast, shifting their strategy toward a hate election. They hope voters' loathing of Democrats outweighs frustration with Trump's focus on the Iran war and China over pocketbook issues like tax cuts.
