A second skirmish took place within 48 hours. The exchange occurred hours after President Trump said he was not in a rush for a deal with Tehran. He suggested Tehran might believe it could out-wait the United States because of upcoming midterm elections. Trump said he did not care about the midterms and referenced a prior night’s events as a prelude to the midterms. He also said people understood the political context. Trump connected the remarks to candidates he endorsed winning their primaries, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeating U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in a GOP Senate primary runoff.
