U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance suggested that the United States' relationship with Israel was one of the reasons for Republican defeats in the recent midterm elections. Vance shared on the social media platform "X" that he had spoken with a pollster before the election, whom he described as one of the "smartest people I know in politics." This expert predicted that Republicans would lose the popular vote by 13 points.
Vance stated that while he felt bad about the election results, he was surprised by the extent of the loss. According to the pollster's findings, many Trump voters in the 2024 election were angry and considering voting for Democrats. When asked what might bring these voters back, the top four responses, which constituted the majority of replies, were: ending the war in Iran, focusing on the cost of living, prioritizing American interests, and changing the U.S. relationship with Israel.
Vance concluded that these four issues motivated many voters to cast ballots for Democrats, aligning with the pollster's accurate predictions. He also noted that while many criticized Rachel Campos-Duffy on Monday for advocating a diplomatic solution to the conflict, her political advice proved correct, adding that she is a "wonderful person."
