"We lost because of the war". J.D. Vance on the election results in the USA

J.D. Vance criticized the Republican Party's strategy after midterm election losses, attributing the defeat to the war in Iran and urging a shift in focus to domestic issues. He believes that many voters who supported Republicans in 2024 turned to Democrats in the midterms. Vance suggested that addressing inflation and prioritizing America could win back these voters. His comments appear to distance him from Trump while highlighting internal conflicts within the administration regarding the war's impact on elections. Trump acknowledged Vance's assessment but maintained that the war was justified.
