These GOP candidates in tight races are calling for a quick end to Iran war
Some Trump-aligned candidates are calling for an end to the Iran war, even as Trump stands by his Iran strategy and has suggested escalation is possible.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story as a split inside the GOP over the Iran war, with vulnerable Republican candidates in tight races pushing for a faster end. The Washington Post and Fox News both emphasize breaking with Trump, while CBS News adds that Trump is still standing by his Iran strategy and has floated escalation. Fox News is the only outlet to name Ashley Hinson, Mike Rogers and Jon Husted in the extract, and the Washington Post is the only one to mention polling and midterms.
