Why It Matters

The Republican Party lost the midterm elections, and Vice President Vance publicly blamed the defeat on the Iran war.

Font size

U.S. President Trump stressed that although the war with Iran would damage the election, it was still the right decision.

The veteran news program "60 Minutes" of CBS broadcast an exclusive interview with U.S. President Trump on the 8th, discussing the reasons for the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections, the Iran war, immigration policy, and future political trends.

After the election results were finalized, Vice President Vance immediately claimed that the main reason for the Republican Party's defeat was the war with Iran, which was interpreted by the outside world as an intention to break away from Trump. Trump revealed that Vance had been informed of the intention to publish the post in advance, and he responded, "Just write what you want to write." Regarding Vance's "diagnosis", Trump generally "does not object", but he does not agree with the question in the article "whether a war with Iran is worth it."

Even though Trump admitted that the war had a significant negative impact on the election, he reiterated that if he had to go to war again, he would still go to war against Tehran. "From a historical perspective, this would be a very correct decision." "If they (Iran) acquire nuclear weapons during my term, I will be blamed far more severely than now." As for whether to escalate the confrontation with Tehran, Trump said, "I have no intention of doing so. I can't think of any reason to do so."

Regarding the "post-Trump era" and the issue of the presidential successor in 2028, Trump remains ambiguous, claiming that Republicans are full of talents. In addition to the most favored Vance and Secretary of State Rubio, "there are also some outstanding senators."
