The war in Iran has created strong divisions among President
Trump’s supporters. An anti-interventionist wing of the
Republican coalition and some senior administration officials
partial to Mr. Trump’s criticism of long overseas conflicts have
quickly become uneasy about the war, which has shown no immediate
signs of ending.

Robert Draper, a domestic politics journalist for The New York
Times based in Washington, discusses Mr. Trump’s justification
for the war and whether he is explicitly violating a pact he made
with his base not to start another.

Guest: Robert Draper is a journalist based in
Washington, D.C., who writes about domestic politics for The New
York Times.

Background reading: Joe Kent, a top U.S. counterterrorism
official, resigns over the Iran war.

High gas prices, driven up by the war, loom over the midterms.
