Generational Split Emerges Among Conservatives Over Trump's Iran War at CPAC 2026
⢠Younger conservatives at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas express betrayal over President Trump's Iran war, clashing with his America-first promises, while older attendees defend it as a pragmatic response to threats. ⢠A Pew Research Center survey shows nearly 80% of Republicans approve of Trump's war handling overall, but support drops among younger Republicans and conservative-leaning independents who gained Trump support in 2024. ⢠Critics like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly oppose the conflict; attendee Joseph Bolick, a 30-year-old veteran, withdrew support citing economic suffering and focus on foreign wars.
