VANCE BREAKS WITH TRUMP: "THE REASON WE LOST IS THE WAR"

By The Vote Desk ·

The morning after the GOP wipeout, Vice President JD Vance @JDVance went public on why Republicans lost 👇

🎤 VANCE

"The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night." (Axios)

"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." (Axios)

🇮🇱 ISRAEL TOO

The Washington Post reports Vance said voters want to "end the war" and change the U.S. relationship with Israel.

📊 WHAT VOTERS SAID

PBS NewsHour, citing the AP VoteCast survey of 100,000+ voters: cost of living and government corruption ranked above the Iran war as voters' top issues — but most voters unhappy with the war backed Democrats for the House.

🗳️ THE 2028 ANGLE

A sitting VP openly blaming his own administration's war — the day after the midterms. Is this Vance's 2028 launch? 👇
