Vice President JD Vance wrote that the Iran war was the reason Republicans lost the midterm elections and said any discussion of the administration’s next steps must begin with the conflict. He said ending the war was among the leading concerns of former Trump voters who backed Democrats.
Why it matters
Vance’s public break in emphasis adds domestic political pressure on the administration’s Iran policy as he has also been involved in negotiations with Tehran.
