Vance blames Iran war for GOP's midterms defeat. Trump says he would 'do it again'
ABC News Voter poll found 34% of voters say the war was "crucial" to their vote.
Vice President JD Vance has blamed the ongoing war with Iran for the Republican Party's significant losses in the recent midterm elections, in which Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump defended the military action, stating that despite agreeing with Vance on its impact, he would repeat the decision as it prevents Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The ABC News Voter Poll revealed that 34% of voters cited the Iran war as crucial to their decision, while 49% attributed their vote to the cost of living, and 55% blamed government corruption. Despite these results, Trump expressed no regret for his actions, emphasizing that "long term, it's the only answer."
