Vance breaks with Trump on Iran war after GOP midterm losses

Vice President JD Vance publicly distanced himself from President Donald Trump's defense of the Iran war on Wednesday, following the Republican Party's significant losses in the midterm elections. Vance blamed the unpopular conflict for the GOP's defeat, while Trump continued to defend the war. Vance issued a social media post arguing the war cost Republicans control of the Senate for six years, directly contradicting Trump's repeated campaign trail defenses. Trump called Vance's post "good" and said he understood his vice president's feelings, while Democrats criticized Vance for not speaking out earlier. About 6 in 10 voters said the U.S. made the wrong decision in taking military action against Iran, according to an AP Voter Poll. Vance, a former Marine who previously advocated for military restraint, had been quiet about the war after it launched this past spring.
