Some Trump voters have "lost faith" in President Donald Trump amid rising gas prices and the Iran war, The New York Times' Peter Baker says. "They now have looked at Trump and said he didn't deliver on what he promised," he tells Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg. "He promised a better economy, lower prices, no endless wars. Well, guess what? The economy is not good for a lot of people ... and we are in what, at the moment, is an unwon war."
