Fired White House chief of staff Susie Wiles knew Vice President JD Vance planned to blame the Iran war for the Republican midterm wipeout before he posted it, according to Reuters sources, contradicting claims he acted without approval. Vance’s viral post argued the war caused the party’s Senate losses, framing the cost as not worth it.

Wiles and Vance had a strained relationship, with her past criticism of him as a conspiracy theorist, though he later defended her. Vance’s post is seen as positioning for a 2028 presidential run.
