JD Vance says Iran war was "the auténtico reason" for Republicans' midterm losses

After Republicans lost more than 40 House seats and at least seven Senate seats in the midterms, Vice President JD Vance said in a social media message the morning after the election that the Iran war was the main cause of the party’s losses. President Trump told 60 Minutes that Vance had informed him beforehand about the message and that he did not disagree with Vance’s explanation, but he added that he would still have attacked Iran. Trump said the attack degraded Iran’s conventional military and set back its nuclear program, arguing it was historically a good decision even if its political benefit might be limited in the near term. CBS News exit polling found about 63% of midterm voters disapproved of Trump’s job performance.
