Vance blames war in Iran for Republican midterm losses: ‘If you’d like to argue it was worth it ... then do so’

(AP) - In a lengthy online post, Vice President JD Vance seemingly sought to distance himself from election results that featured big Republican losses across the country.

Vance wrote:

“The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. 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. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.”
