Mamdani slams Vance for blaming Iran war for Republican midterm losses

hindustantimes.com —

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized Vice President JD Vance for blaming the Iran war for Republican midterm losses, calling the remarks "ironic" since Vance is part of the administration that started the conflict. Vance said the war caused Republicans to lose control of both chambers of Congress, distancing himself from President Trump's military action. Mamdani argued Vance should take action to end the war rather than describe it as if from an outside administration. Trump defended the Iran military action, saying it stopped nuclear weapons development. Polls showed the war was unpopular, with 71% of Americans disapproving and 65% rejecting Trump's handling of the conflict.
