A majority of the American public, polls suggest, have been against the ongoing US-Israeli military campaign in Iran from the day it started. However, Republicans have largely supported their president as the war approaches its fourth week. This trend might be changing, as attendees at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas expressed concerns over the war's justification and the administration's exit strategy. Many younger conservatives, such as 19-year-old Toby Blair, voiced their belief that addressing domestic issues should take precedence over military interventions abroad. As sentiments diverge, the traditional backing for Trump's policies is showing signs of strain, challenging his stronghold within the party ahead of the midterm elections.
