“Vice President JD Vance placed the blame for the Republicans’ wipeout in the midterm elections squarely on the war with Iran, and said supporters of the war would have to reckon with the fact that they may have surrendered control of Congress for years as a result,” the New York Times reports.“Mr. Vance said ‘the reason we lost is the war,’ and that any honest conversation must start with it.”Said Vance: “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. But everyone knows why we lost.”The Wrap: Alyssa Farah Griffin says JD Vance’s 2028 chances “just went down the toilet.”
