BREAKING: JD Vance says the Iran war cost Republicans the midterm elections!
He just put out a long tweet about the thrashing Republicans took last night, and according to him, the problem wasn’t that Republican voters stayed home. They actually showed up in strong numbers, but many who backed Trump and Vance in 2024 ended up voting for Democrats.
Vance says his team had spotted something strange before the election. Turnout looked good, but one of his analysts warned that plenty of those voters were angry enough to switch sides. And a pollster later found out what was driving that anger.
When former Trump voters were asked what would bring them back, four answers stood out:
1. End the war
2. Bring down inflation and living costs
3. Put America First
4. Change America’s relationship with Israel
That’s a pretty striking list coming from voters who helped put Trump back in the White House just two years ago.Vance admitted Republicans could have done a better job talking about the economy, but he says the war was the real reason they lost. He even pointed out that Trump himself had said so.
And he pushed back at Republicans offering immigration amnesty as the solution, warning that anyone selling that idea was lying. He also had a message for voters who had warned Republicans this would happen: “You’re right, you did tell us so.” Vance is openly acknowledging that many of Trump’s own voters turned against Republicans over the war, inflation, and foreign policy.
