Trump's foreign policy and tariffs weigh on Republicans ahead of November 3 midterms

Multiple outlets report that President Trump's war with Iran and tariff campaign are raising costs for Americans ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. Polls cited show most Americans blame Trump's policies for rising prices, and Republican candidates are distancing themselves from him on some issues. The White House defends the economic record and calls market disruptions temporary.
