Iowa Republican Senate candidate Rep. Ashley Hinson privately acknowledged that the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran<\/span> could become a “political liability” if it stretches beyond the next few weeks, according to audio of a campaign event exchange obtained by CBS News.<\/p>\n

Hinson made the remarks during a\u00a0 conversation with a voter at a campaign stop in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on May 28. The exchange, first reported by Politico, captures Hinson fielding questions about the war and a potential military draft.<\/p>\n

“I do hope we can get this done by the next couple of weeks,” Hinson said in the recording. “If it drags on beyond that, it’s a political liability for us too. Because we’ve lost Iowa soldiers.”<\/p>\n

Hinson cited the deaths of Iowa service members<\/span> as the source of her concern.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been to four funerals since December. It’s awful,” she said.<\/p>\n

Asked whether she had a timeline for the war, Hinson said she was deferring to President Trump and his foreign policy team, who are seeking a deal with Iran to extend the current ceasefire and open talks on Iran’s nuclear program. The two countries entered into a ceasefire in April, but occasional clashes have continued, and global oil markets remain impacted by a sharp slowdown in shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

“Obviously I was deferring to the President on the negotiations, because he has the team doing it,” she said, adding that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains her bottom line. “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. At the end of the day, that’s what I want to say on that.”<\/p>\n

Hinson also addressed questions about a potential military draft, saying she had not heard of any such plans. The White House said early in the war that a military draft was not planned.<\/p>\n

“We don’t need one,” Hinson said. “I hope we don’t need one.”<\/p>\n

Despite her concern about the conflict’s duration and political consequences, Hinson said the families of the fallen Iowa soldiers she has visited have remained resolute.<\/p>\n

“Those families all said we need to finish the job,” she said. “Even in their grief.”<\/p>\n

Hinson and\u00a0Democratic nominee Josh Turek<\/span>\u00a0will face off in November for the Iowa Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Joni Ernst, who is not seeking re-election. The race is among the competitive contests that will help determine control of the Senate in 2026.<\/p>\n

A Hinson spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News: “Of course endless wars are unpopular\u2014no one wants them and thankfully President Trump is doing everything he can to prevent one while keeping Americans safe.”<\/p>\n
