PNN – In response to the severe defeat suffered by his fellow Republicans in the U.S. congressional midterm elections, the U.S. Vice President acknowledged: The reason for our loss is the war against Iran and our relationship with Israel.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network citing Al Jazeera, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance—reacting to the heavy losses sustained by his fellow Republicans in the congressional midterms—admitted: The reason for our defeat is the war—but it is worth it!
The U.S. Vice President emphasized: The war was the reason for our electoral defeat; Trump himself alluded to this last night. Many American voters who supported Trump in 2024 decided to vote for the Democrats in 2026.
J.D. Vance further added: To those who are deeply upset and angry about the results—you have every right to be. Polls indicated that many people voted for the Democrats because they wanted an end to war, a solution to the cost-of-living crisis, and a change in our relationship with Israel.
He continued: Everyone knows why we lost, and any honest discussion about our path forward must begin right there. Voters who withdrew their support from the Republican Party are prepared to return—provided that the war with Iran is brought to an end, an ‘America First’ approach is adopted, and the nature of the relationship with Israel is altered.
