President Donald Trump said a “great dislike for Israel” was one of the reasons the Republicans lost in the midterm elections, along with the Iran war and the subsequent rise in gasoline prices.
“I think if I was on the ballot, it would’ve been a much different situation because you saw the level of popularity and love,” Trump said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday. “But there’s something beyond that. They didn’t like the war. They didn’t like the fact that gasoline went up, ‘cause I had it down at a low, and there’s a great dislike, incredibly, for Israel.”
