Summary
Trump said the 13-day Iran war would not derail Republican prospects in the midterms, brushing aside concerns that the conflict could cost the party control of Congress.
At the White House, he argued there was no need to rush, saying the administration had to "do it right" and that elections would "take care of themselves."
His remarks directly addressed a growing political risk around the continuing strikes, which have raised questions about whether the war could damage Republicans in the coming congressional elections.
