Trump backs Vance's Iran war stance on GOP losses

President Donald Trump said he does not disagree with Vice President JD Vance's assessment that the Iran war, rising costs, and U.S.-Israel relations caused the Republicans' midterm losses, during a CBS 60 Minutes interview on Sunday. Trump stated Vance was transparent about his planned post on X beforehand, but wished the vice president had clarified whether he would have struck Iran again. Trump affirmed he would, arguing the decision was more important than political consequences, as allowing Iran a nuclear weapon was unacceptable. Democrats regained control of both congressional chambers, flipping at least seven Senate seats and over two dozen House districts. Vance had argued the war was a "worthwhile cost to pay," while Trump said the decision may be unpopular now but historically sound.
