After JD Vance, now Trump Jr blames Iran war for US midterm defeat

US President Donald Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, has backed Vice President JD Vance's blunt assessment of the Republican Party's midterm defeat, throwing the spotlight on divisions within the president's own camp over the Iran war.Trump Jr endorsed Vance's lengthy post on X, in which the vice president blamed the Republicans' electoral setback on the administration's failure to address voters' concerns over the Iran conflict, rising living costs and US foreign policy."The reason we lost is the war.

The president himself said so last night," Vance wrote.Barely an hour later, Trump Jr reposted the message, adding: "Every word of this is 💯💯💯."According to Vance, the four main concerns driving their discontent were ending the war, tackling inflation and the cost of living, putting America first and changing the country's relationship with Israel."If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so.

Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay.
