Trump's Iran war rattles US swing voters ahead of midterms

(AFP) Donald Trump's war with Iran is weighing on independent US voters, a crucial bloc likely to determine if the president's Republican Party maintains control of Congress in the November midterm elections.

At a breakfast diner in Pennsylvania, a swing state where voters often shift between parties, there was a mix of anger and confusion over the new conflict.

"Trump's just miring us in another Iraq, Vietnam situation," said retired postal worker Jolene Lloyd, 65, referencing the two prolonged wars often seen as failures for the United States.

Lloyd has never voted for Trump, but has previously split her ticket between parties. Not this year -- in November, she will only support Democrats.
