The pushback has extended beyond the president&#8217;s usual critics, with some Trump-aligned candidates calling for an end to the conflict. Mr. Trump has stood by his Iran strategy and has also suggested escalation is possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The war with Iran needs to end, and end quickly,&#8221; Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/detroit\/news\/mike-rogers-iran-war-diesel-export-embargo-gas-tax\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said in a video<\/a><\/span> Monday that didn&#8217;t mention Mr. Trump by name, arguing &#8220;energy costs will plummet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In his prior comments on the Iran war, Rogers had said the conflict should be brought to an end but offered more explicit support for Mr. Trump, who campaigned with Rogers earlier this year. The Senate hopeful <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/detroit\/news\/mike-rogers-iran-war-diesel-export-embargo-gas-tax\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told CBS Detroit<\/a><\/span> in July: &#8220;I want [the president] to wrap it up, and my understanding is he&#8217;s doing just that,&#8221; pointing to ongoing negotiations with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Monday, Rep. Ashley Hinson \u2014 the Republican candidate for Iowa&#8217;s open Senate seat \u2014 wrote that &#8220;the war needs to be brought to a successful and immediate end.&#8221; But last week, Hinson did not vote to support the war powers resolution to limit Mr. Trump&#8217;s authority to wage war.<\/p>\n<p>In June, the Trump-endorsed Hinson acknowledged in a conversation with a voter that the Iran war could turn into a &#8220;political liability&#8221; unless it&#8217;s wrapped up &#8220;by the next couple of weeks,&#8221; according to a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iowa-gop-senate-candidate-ashley-hinson-iran-war-political-liability\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">recording obtained by CBS News<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. John James, the Republican nominee for Michigan governor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/politics\/2026\/09\/michigan-republican-john-james-joins-calls-for-end-to-iran-war.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told reporters on Tuesday<\/a>, according to local outlet MLive: &#8220;Iran cannot have a nuke, but I&#8217;ve always said that we need to use every resource at our disposal to bring this war to an end quickly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In neighboring Wisconsin, Republican gubernatorial candidate Rep. Tom Tiffany <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mattsmith_news\/status\/2102500483671769161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said Tuesday<\/a>: &#8220;I just believe that we should be exiting Iran, that it&#8217;s time to move on.&#8221; He argued the U.S. has degraded Iran&#8217;s military, so it&#8217;s &#8220;time to come home, take care of business here in America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And Ohio Sen. Jon Husted, who is fighting to hold on to his seat amid a challenge from Democratic former Sen. Sherrod Brown, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/09\/22\/jon-husted-iran-war-quick-end-trump-01088614\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told Politico<\/a> the &#8220;war needs to come to an end as quickly as possible so that we can lower gas prices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Mr. Trump first ordered strikes on Iran in late February, launching what he <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/when-will-the-iran-war-end-what-trump-has-said\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">predicted<\/a><\/span> would be a four- or five-week conflict, the vast majority of congressional Republicans backed the move. Some of the loudest dissents came from longstanding members of the party&#8217;s anti-interventionist wing like Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Thomas Massie.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine \u2014 who is fighting for a sixth term in an increasingly blue-leaning state \u2014 later <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-iran-war-powers-democrats\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">began voting with Democrats<\/a><\/span> on resolutions to rein in Mr. Trump&#8217;s war powers. She was joined by GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, a frequent Trump critic.<\/p>\n<p>As the conflict stretched into the summer, keeping oil prices elevated above prewar levels, and as a temporary U.S.-Iran truce collapsed in July, a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-conflict-trump-opinion-poll\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">growing share of the electorate<\/a><\/span> voiced disapproval with the war and criticized its direction.<\/p>\n<p>One late July CBS News poll showed 67% of Americans wanted the Iran conflict to end immediately, including 92% of Democrats, 73% of independents and 30% of Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/house-approves-limiting-trump-on-iran-for-third-time\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">seven House Republicans voted with Democrats<\/a><\/span> on a resolution to block Mr. Trump from taking further action in Iran. Three new GOP lawmakers had joined the list of defectors since the House&#8217;s previous war power votes over the summer: Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn of Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Rep. Tom Barrett, who&#8217;s running for reelection in Michigan, has voted in favor of the War Powers Act four times and also introduced a resolution to limit and wind down the Iran war in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a social media post the morning after the surprise vote, Miller-Meeks <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepMMM\/status\/2100212273746706791?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Mr. Trump &#8220;needs to present a plan to Congress and the American people for how this ends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will not vote to keep our soldiers in an open-ended war, with Iowans paying too much at the pump,&#8221; wrote Miller-Meeks.<\/p>\n<p>Nunn <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZachNunn\/status\/2100051188058079378?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said in a statement on X<\/a>: &#8220;With the negotiating window closed, sustained combat operations now require congressional authorization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The two Iowans represent House districts that Democrats are targeting in November, and Miller-Meeks has a history of winning elections by razor-thin margins since she was first elected to Congress in 2020 by just six votes.<\/p>\n<p>The Iran war has also been especially taxing on <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/farmer-trump-voter-iran-war-tariffs-cost\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">agricultural states<\/a><\/span> like Iowa. Oil market turmoil has caused diesel and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/colorado\/news\/iran-war-fertilizer-prices-colorado-farmers\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">fertilizer prices to soar<\/a><\/span>, putting pressure on farmers \u2014 many of whom were already <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iowa-farmers-feeling-strain-hope-for-positive-outcome-from-trump-china-summit\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">struggling to sell crops like soybeans<\/a><\/span> abroad due to last year&#8217;s trade wars.<\/p>\n<p>Some Republican candidates have pushed for relief from high energy prices. Hinson <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hinsonashley\/status\/2102046188249719095?s=46&amp;t=cOPOT9aS1WKTLfPcW4XSHA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">argued this week<\/a> the U.S. should pause diesel exports, suspend the gas tax and create a &#8220;diesel relief program.&#8221; Rogers has also called for diesel export restrictions and a gas tax suspension.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The war in Iran needs to end to bring costs down \u2014 but Michigan families can&#8217;t afford to wait,&#8221; Rogers wrote in a social media post earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters Wednesday morning, when asked about the recent calls by Republicans for an end to the war, that there&#8217;s &#8220;voter fatigue&#8221; with high gas and diesel prices. The South Dakota Republican, who said he&#8217;s encouraged Senate candidates to run their own campaigns, even if they disagree with the president on some issues, said it&#8217;s an &#8220;economic frustration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why again I hope that the administration is laser-focused on trying to get the strait open, get the shipping lanes opened up, and help out with that global energy supply,&#8221; Thune said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump has not shown any signs that he will bend to the pressure and seek a quick resolution to the conflict, calling the Iran war a necessary move to curb Iran&#8217;s military. Last week, he <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/gas-prices-trump-midterms-affordability-iran-war-d2f5d5aa7ecc1f6d55d8f5759db03150\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called rising gas prices<\/a> a &#8220;very inexpensive price to pay for what we&#8217;ve done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the U.S. and Iran haven&#8217;t directly struck each other in recent weeks, the president left the door open to further escalation on Tuesday, saying he has a &#8220;big decision to make&#8221; between cutting a deal with Iran and seeking to &#8220;annihilate&#8221; the country.<\/p>\n<p>And in recent weeks, he has predicted the war could end after \u2014 not before \u2014 the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe we&#8217;ll make a deal right after the election because it doesn&#8217;t make sense for them not to,&#8221; Mr. Trump said in an address to the United Nations&#8217; General Assembly on Tuesday. &#8220;They&#8217;re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                                  <a
