Cotton asserts that\u2064 Iran prefers \u2062Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump, believing that Harris would be easier to manipulate, similar to President Joe Biden. He argues that Iran fears a return of Trump, as he would take a firmer \u200cstance against their actions in the Middle East. \u200cDuring an appearance on Fox News,\u2063 Cotton criticized the Biden administration for its inaction regarding perceived threats from Iran, \u200dcalling their \u2063response inadequate and suggesting that Trump\u2019s approach would be significantly more assertive.
