Trump reacts to Vance's midterm assessment: 'I thought it was good'
The Iran war began in late February, with the administration initially stating it expected the conflict to last only several weeks.
President Donald Trump appeared to downplay any talk of a rift between him and Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday after the latter posted a frank assessment of why he believed the GOP suffered major midterm losses.
"I know how he feels about it. I think it was fine. I thought it was good," Trump told reporters, when pressed on Vance's comments.
The vice president's X post largely blamed voter dissatisfaction with the Iran war, the U.S. relationship with Israel, and the perception that the administration was not sufficiently focused on domestic issues, namely cost of living, in explaining the loss of the House and Senate.
The Iran war began in late February, with the administration initially stating it expected the conflict to last only several weeks, though it dragged out for months and appeared to substantially impact Republicans in the Tuesday evening contests.
