Slotkin tells Vance to stop blaming Iran war for GOP losses

thehill.com —

Sen. Elissa Slotkin criticized Vice President Vance for blaming Republican midterm losses on the Iran war, urging him to focus on ending the conflict instead of deflecting responsibility. Democrats won control of both the House and Senate, flipping GOP seats in states like Texas, Michigan, and Ohio. Vance argued the war caused the defeat, while Slotkin accused him and President Trump of entering the conflict without clear objectives. A Gallup poll showed 77 percent of voters considered the war a key issue. Trump also acknowledged the war's role in the losses during an election night interview.
