Vance blames Iran war for Trump’s crushing Midterm defeat

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance stated on Wednesday that the war in Iran was the reason behind the crushing electoral defeat suffered by the right and President Donald Trump the previous day.

Vance, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, wrote in a lengthy post on the platform X: "The reason we lost is the war." He added: "Everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there."
