Republicans Blame Iran War for Midterm Defeat, Shift Strategy

Vice President JD Vance and Senator Ted Cruz said the war with Iran was a primary factor in the Republican defeat in the recent midterm elections, and Democrats plan to use their congressional majority to restrict funding for the conflict. Vance had earlier blamed the Iran war for GOP losses, while President Donald Trump defended the operation. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced he will not seek the minority-leader post, and other Republican leaders warned that the setback could be significant for the party.
