"If Trump sends ground troops to the Middle Eastern country, we lose 60 to 70 seats, warned an anonymous Republican House representative."
"I'm really, really hopeful this doesn't turn into a boots-on-the-ground situation. My biggest concern this whole time is that this would turn into another long Middle Eastern war, stated Rep. Eli Crane."
"No U.S. troops on the ground, Rep. Nancy Mace said, adding that if that line is crossed, we're in a different phase of the conflict."
"Rep. Derrick Van Orden expressed clear opposition to U.S. ground troops in Iran, while Rep. Ryan Mackenzie cautioned against being drawn into another Forever War."
Republican lawmakers are increasingly uneasy about the possibility of a U.S. ground invasion in Iran, with one anonymous representative warning that such action could lead to a loss of 60 to 70 seats in the midterms. Despite previous votes against invoking the War Powers Act, concerns are rising as evidence suggests Trump may escalate military involvement. Rep. Eli Crane and others emphasize the risks of another prolonged conflict, urging caution against deploying ground troops and highlighting the need for Congressional input if that occurs.
