  Warren Says Trump Knows Iran War and Price Hikes Are Unpopular, So He’s ‘Trying to Rig’ Midterms April 1, 2026 US Sen. Elizabeth Warren has accused President Donald Trump of trying to sabotage the 2026 midterm elections as his illegal war on Iran jacks up gas prices and threatens higher inflation throughout the economy, angering voters across the political spectrum.   The Massachusetts Democrat’s warning came shortly after Trump signed an executive order Tuesday evening aimed at restricting mail-in voting, a move that was widely seen as unconstitutional. Warren wrote on social media: “Trump knows his war with Iran is unpopular. Trump knows Americans are angry that he’s made everything more expensive.

Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion."
