Sky News contributor Kristin Tate argues the conflict with Iran is "casting a shadow" over the Trump administration ahead of the US midterms. “The war in Iran has really dominated discussions here on the ground in America, and particularly among Trump’s base, they want to see this wrapped up,” Ms Tate told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “People are kind of done with it, especially because Trump campaigned on not starting any new wars and focusing on domestic issues and strengthening the country from within. “If he wants to remain strong, especially going into the midterm elections this fall, which are very important for Republicans, this war in Iran needs to be wrapped up.”
