It’s less than a week from the midterms, but the wheels are already falling off the wagon.

I’m in the camp that thinks the war was a mistake, but Vance was part of the decision-making and his craven attempt to distance himself from the consequences of that decision is pathetic.

Trump Hits JD Vance for Blaming Midterm Losses on Iran War: ‘A Lot of People Didn’t Like His Comments’

President Donald Trump took a swipe at Vice President JD Vance Sunday evening for blaming the GOP’s disastrous midterm elections on the Iran War, saying that “a lot of people didn’t like his comments.”

Tuesday’s results gave Democrats reasons to celebrate across the country, leaving Republicans grim about seemingly everything except for narrowly winning the gubernatorial and Senate races in Florida. Enough congressional seats flipped blue — despite a Trump-backed gerrymandering effort pushed in multiple red states — to turn over majority control of both the U.S. House and Senate.

Many other state and federal races previously assessed as safely red turned blue by large margins, with an especially shocking result in Texas, where Democrats swept all statewide races, numerous judicial races, and flipped control of the Texas State House.

Unsurprisingly, Trump was infuriated by his party’s collapse and the pending Democratic-majority Congress, raging on his Truth Social account to lash out at his foes and reclaim prior victories. There has been an exodus of several top officials who resigned from the DOJ and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was summarily replaced with Stephen Miller on Friday.

Friday.

The morning after the election, Vance posted a lengthy and scathing postmortem blaming the Iran War for causing the GOP’s collapse.

“The reason we lost is the war,” Vance bluntly wrote. “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,” Vance challenged. “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.”
