Trump blames GOP losses on Iran war, failed 'love transfer'

thehindu.com [$] —

President Donald Trump defended the Iran war on Wednesday despite acknowledging its role in Republican losses in the U.S. midterm elections, where the party lost control of Congress. Trump said the conflict was necessary to stop Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, though it caused gasoline price spikes that fueled Democratic gains. He accepted Vice President J.D. Vance’s criticism blaming the war for the losses. Trump claimed Republicans would have won if he were on the ballot, saying candidates failed to “transfer the love” from his rallies. Vance has not ruled out a 2028 presidential run.
