What US midterm election results mean for the region
Vice President J.D. Vance has been outspoken about the US midterm election results. In a long post on X, he predicted that “there will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is … but the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.” He added: “The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.”
Vance explained what he meant: The administration’s agenda has deviated from what the public wanted, which is putting America first, addressing economic issues such as rising prices, ending the war with Iran and changing the US’ relationship with Israel, adding that “the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats.” He favored diplomacy, defending Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, calling her advice “sound.”
