President Donald Trump, on Wednesday, November 4, one day after the mid-term elections of the American Congress, while visiting the construction site of the new White House ballroom, in response to the journalists' questions, admitted that the Iran war played a role in defeating the Republicans, but emphasized that if he were in the position of making decisions again, he would repeat the same action. In response to a reporter's question about the statement of US Vice President J. De Vance that the Iran war was the reason for the defeat of the Republicans in the elections, Trump said: "I think it is true to a large extent, because the war in the short term raised the price of gas a little." "But if I had to do it again, I would do it again, because in the long run this is the only solution," the president added. "Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons." Earlier, in a message on the X social network, J.D. Vance, referring to the defeat of the Republican candidates in the mid-term elections and the loss of the majority of the Senate, saw the Iran war as the main cause of this defeat and wrote that many voters who supported Trump in the 2024 presidential elections, this time voted for the Democratic candidate. Vance emphasized that the main problem of the Republicans is not the decrease in the participation of their supporters, but the dissatisfaction of the voters with the policies of the government. According to him, polls show that ending the Iran war, addressing the cost of living and inflation, implementing the "America First" policy and changing relations with Israel were the four main demands of the voters who turned away from the Republicans. The vice president of the United States also criticized the efforts of some politicians from the Republican Party to project and said that any honest discussion about the future of this party should begin by accepting the reasons for the defeat in the elections.
