VANCE BREAKS RANKS: "THE REASON WE LOST IS THE WAR"

By The Vote Desk ·

Vice President @JDVance is blaming the Iran war for Tuesday's Republican midterm losses — and, per a Fox News Digital exclusive, building a "new right" alliance with disaffected Trump voters ahead of 2028.

📱 In a long post on X, 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."

"But everyone knows why we lost."

🧭 THE FOUR-POINT PLAN

Citing a pollster, Vance laid out four tasks to win voters back: end the war in Iran, focus on the cost of living and inflation, put America First — and change America's relationship with Israel (Fox News).

🇺🇸 TRUMP RESPONDS

Trump said Vance's take was "largely true" — but added: "if I had it to do again, I'd have to do it again, because long term, it's the only answer" (Fox News).

🗳️ 2028 WATCH

A Trump administration official told Fox News Digital Vance's message is aimed at Republicans who back the president but feel left behind on foreign policy.

Is Vance setting up a 2028 run against the Trump wing? 👇
