vice-president J.D. Vance on Wednesday blamed the Republicans’ heavy midterm defeats on the war with Iran, arguing that voters who supported the president Donald Trump in 2024, he turned against the Republican Party over the conflict.
“The reason we lost was the war. The president himself said that last night,” Vance written in a long post on social media .
The remarks represent a striking acknowledgment by the vice president that the administration’s handling of the Iran conflict has become a political liability for Republicans, even as his boss has defended the approach to war. Vance also suggested that Republicans who supported the war should recognize the political costs rather than seek other explanations for Tuesday’s results.
“To the people who are upset and want to say: ‘I told you so’: you are right, you told us,” he wrote in his long message. “Put that energy to elect Republicans who share your worldview.”
