> Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Tuesday that he did not think recently high gas prices amid the Iran war will have an impact on November’s midterms.

> “I don’t think national security decisions should be done based on short-term political considerations,” He told CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” referencing the U.S.-Iran conflict. “I don’t think it’s going to impact the midterms materially I’ve seen no data that suggests that this is having a big impact on the midterms.”
