According to the news of Fox News, one of the US media, based on sources close to the subject, the stances of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance became a matter of curiosity after the Republicans lost the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections.
Sources pointed out that Vance openly expressed his disagreements with Trump, especially regarding Iran and Israel, in his statement after the elections, and that a meeting was held at the White House on the morning of the election about the Trump administration giving a common message.
'HE REVEALED HIS GOALS'
A source from the Trump administration, who wished to remain anonymous, stated in a statement to Fox that Vance put forward the goals of "ending the Iran war, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, prioritizing the United States, and changing relations with Israel" in order to reunite Republican voters after the election.
THEY POINTED TO 2028: CALL FOR A NEW ALLIANCE
The official stated that these four items put forward by Vance were a call for an alliance for the "new right" for the 2028 presidential elections.
The "new right" is broadly defined as a coalition of Republicans aligned with the president's original "America First" movement, whose key elements include staying out of foreign conflicts, making America a place for Americans to raise families, and closing the borders, according to Fox.
Officials noted that Vance's step was not perceived as a separation from Trump, but rather a message to voters who felt betrayed by Trump.
'READY TO REPLACE TRUMP'
However, in the news published in the Telegraph, one of the British media, it was underlined that JD Vance was disturbed by the election results and the expressions "ready to replace Trump" were used.
ALARM BELLS RANGED IN ISRAEL
On the other hand, according to the column published in Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, an Israeli official stated that the US election results and Vance's statements "effectively suspended the Iran war."
It was stated in the Israeli administration that Trump may ease the conditions for ending the war due to the political difficulties he faces.
While it was stated that Vance's statements "rang alarm bells" in Tel Aviv, it was stated that there were concerns that Trump would exclude Iran's nuclear program and be content with only reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
It was pointed out that Vance's attacks on Iran and his statement questioning the US's relations with Israel made Trump's plans towards Iran difficult, and it was reminded that with the Democrats' success in the elections, 10 names known for their harsh criticism of Israel entered the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Following the defeat of the Republicans, it was noted that Vance's assessment was a "serious source of concern" for the Israelis, while Trump's finding that Vance's statement was "largely correct" is considered a development that may increase these concerns.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The American people went to the polls on November 3 for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate, as well as governorships and other local positions in their states.
According to the first unofficial results, Democrats took the majority from Republicans in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
In the US electoral system, all members of the 435-seat House of Representatives go to the polls every two years, once in the general election in which the US president is elected and the other in the midterm elections.
In the 100-member Senate wing of Congress, one-third of the senators are elected for a 6-year term and are renewed every two years.
