Midterms: Vance seeks distance from Trump after election debacle
US voters surprisingly punished Donald Trump's policies in the congressional elections. Vice presidential candidate JD Vance is now trying to distance himself from the president's shadow by criticizing the Iran war.
US Vice President JD Vance has distanced himself from Donald Trump following the Republicans' poor performance in the midterm elections. Vance attributed the loss to Trump's handling of the Iran war, which he said was a major factor in the Democrats' landslide victory. Trump responded, saying he would not have done things differently, but acknowledged that the war was a contentious issue.
The election results may impact Vance's potential presidential ambitions, with some analysts suggesting that his comments may be seen as a deliberate distancing from Trump.
