Presidential hopeful Vance appears to question Iran war after polls debacle

Vice President JD Vance has blamed the Iran war for his party’s withering midterms defeat, suggesting that the conflict may not have been worth ceding control of the Congress to Democrats. “The reason we lost is the war.

The president himself said so last night,” he wrote in a lengthy post on X. “If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so.” In stark contrast, Trump said in the wake of the rebuke at the ballot box that he had no regrets about launching the conflict.
