Vance threw Trump under the bus in the presidential race The US network reported on Thursday that the vice president of the United States effectively kicked off the 2028 presidential election campaign with his message criticizing the war with Iran. Vice President J. Dee Vance posted a long message on the social network X on Wednesday, in which he implicitly criticized the war against Iran and saw it as the reason for the electoral defeat of the Republicans. Vance's blunt social media post, which contained multiple and not-so-veiled criticisms of Trump's presidency and second-term strategy, was an unusual move for a vice president just hours after a devastating defeat. "The reason we failed was the war," Trump's vice president wrote, adding, "I'm open to the idea that we should change law enforcement, for example by focusing more on businesses that employ illegal workers." - Link.
