Inside the GOP Retreat: Republicans Fear Trump’s Iran War and Gas Prices Could Sink the Midterms

Tara and congressional correspondent Juliegrace Brufke report live from the Republican Congressional Retreat at Trump's Doral golf course in Florida. They break down what House Republicans are really saying behind closed doors — from midterm dread and leadership jockeying to Trump's rambling speech, the war in Iran, rising gas prices, and why no one in the White House press corps is asking about Epstein. Plus: the Democrats' messaging problem and whether Hakeem Jeffries is up to the job.
