Vance published a long article analyzing the Republican Party’s midterm election defeat: it was because of this war

China News Service, November 5 (Xinhua) Comprehensive report: U.S. Vice President Vance published a long article on social media on November 4, local time, analyzing the reasons for the Republican Party's defeat in the mid-term elections. Vance said that the reason for the Republican defeat "almost everyone understands" is "this war."

Vance believes that the reason for the Republican Party's defeat "is the Iran war" and said that US President Trump also talked about this the night before.

Vance said: "If you want to argue that this war is worth it, that losing control of the Senate for the next six years is worth it, then argue." Vance also said: "But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest discussion about where to go from here has to be the starting point."

In addition, Vance said that the turnout of Republican voters is not the main problem. The real problem is that some voters who supported Trump and Vance in the 2024 presidential election switched to supporting the Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections.

Vance quoted a pollster's survey as saying that voters who switched to the Democratic Party mainly raised four demands: ending the war, paying attention to the cost of living and inflation, pursuing "America First" policies, and changing the relationship between the United States and Israel.

According to predictions by many American media, the Democratic Party of the United States won a resounding victory in the midterm elections held on the 3rd, regaining control of the Senate and House of Representatives.

U.S. President Trump admitted on the 4th that the war in Iran would affect the performance of the Republican Party in the U.S. midterm elections, but at the same time said that launching the war was "worth it."
