75% Say Iran War NOT Worth It! Can Progressive Momentum Shake Up the Midterms?

In this segment, NewsNation contributor and former George W. Bush aide Denise Gitsham breaks down why progressive candidates like Abdul El-Sayed and Francesca Hong are tapping into key voter concerns while Republicans focus on broader political messaging. Denise highlights how Maslow's hierarchy of needs explains the current political landscape—arguing that unless candidates speak directly to the affordability crisis and everyday grocery and housing costs, they are completely missing the mark. The conversation turns to foreign policy as Vice President J.D. Vance admits the U.S. is still "in the middle of the game" regarding the Iran war. With a Marquette Law School poll showing 75% of Americans believe the cost of the war hasn't been worth it, Denise criticizes the White House's messaging strategy and explains why being upfront with voters from day one is essential for political survival. What do you think? Is affordability or foreign policy going to decide the midterms?
