One of President Donald Trump\u2019s allies in the Senate, Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV), has a dire warning for his party \u2014 namely, that the Iran war is poised to dearly cost them in the upcoming midterm elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis situation in Iran is causing repercussions like you can’t imagine,\u201d Justice told journalists according to a post on X by Punchbowl News reporter Andrew Desiderio. \u201cAnd I’m a real believer that once we decided to go, we gotta win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Desiderio also reported that Justice also referenced the USS Abraham Lincoln’s \u201crecord time at sea. There are complaints of inadequate food and a bad climate for mental health aboard the ship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always call the voters Toby and Edith,\u201d Justice elaborated in his statement. \u201cRight now, Toby and Edith are standing on their front porch and they’re selling their dishes … They’ve done everything right, and they\u2019re selling their dishes. Sad, isn’t it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Justice slammed Democrats for having \u201ca nothing hand\u201d for the upcoming midterm elections, he suggested that Republicans were not helping their own case. <\/p>\n

\u201cRepublicans have done so much good, it’s unbelievable, and are so horrible at marketing themselves, that they’re scared to death about the midterms,\u201d Justice argued. \u201cHow can you be that if you haven’t done a lousy marketing job?\u201d<\/p>\n

Justice also pushed back against the arguments made by some Republicans, including Trump himself, that anguish over the economy and war in Iran are exaggerated. He did not, however, mention the president by name.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody\u2019s sat back [and] said it\u2019ll be ok,\u201d Desiderio said. \u201cI’ve been the voice that’s been saying, ‘You people are living in a cave if you don’t see that the folks out there … are hurting.’\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWhether it be gas prices or food prices or whatever it may be, they’re hurting[,] And we need to absolutely be more in tune with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that Justice has parted ways with the Trump administration. In 2025, after reviewing the massive cuts to food stamps and other forms of welfare in Trump\u2019s so-called Big Beautiful Bill, Justice argued that “if we don’t watch out, people are going to get hurt, people are going to be upset. It’s going to be the No. 1 thing on the nightly news all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite occasionally criticizing Trump, Justice overwhelmingly votes with the president on every major agenda item. The Trump administration dropped a 2023 Justice Department investigation into Justice\u2019s coal empire.<\/p>\n
