Well, this is clearly going to be a big topic at CPAC. The war in Iran has contrasted with President Trump's America First pledge against foreign entanglements. He ran on that in 2024. But the MAGA base, as you stated, is highly supportive of his efforts with Iran. According to our own CBS poll, an overwhelming amount of MAGA voters, over 80%, supported the Iran strikes and the president's policy towards Iran. And the White House has been pushing back hard on any talk of inner-party fractures. But there are fault lines. Steve Bannon, again, that close Trump ally, has warned that if the war becomes a hard slog, it could cost Republicans conservative voters ahead of the midterms. Senator Ted Cruz is on the other side. He's called Trump's decision exactly right with Iran. So expect a split screen, if you will, here at CPAC on Iran. But the majority of the folks, however, as we stated with the poll, do support the president's decisions and policy with Iran.
