US Vice President JD Vance wrote on X that the war against Iran was the reason for the Republicans' defeat in the November 3 midterm elections. According to him, many voters who backed Trump in 2024 voted for the Democrats. Vance said that winning them back requires ending the war, lowering inflation and reconsidering relations with Israel. Donald Trump has also linked the defeat to the war and rising fuel prices.
