Trump Ignores Midterm Rebuke as Vance Blames Iran War

ici.radio-canada.ca (French) —

Donald Trump largely ignored his party's decisive midterm election defeat, focusing instead on White House renovations during a press appearance, while Vice President J.D. Vance openly blamed the Iran war for the Republican loss. Vance stated the war was the reason for the defeat, urging honest discussion about it, though he avoided directly criticizing Trump. Trump acknowledged the war's short-term impact on gas prices but defended the decision as the only long-term solution. Republicans are now seeking scapegoats, with figures like Mitt Romney and Ron DeSantis criticizing the party's direction, while others like Ari Fleisher blamed the ceasefire rather than the war itself.
