Vance's Game: The Road to the Presidency or Saving the Republican Camp J. De Vance offered his own explanation for the electoral defeat of the Republicans: some Trump voters not only refused to participate in the election, but deliberately switched to the side of the Democrats. Among the reasons he identifies war, rising prices, deviation from the principle of America first and relations with Israel. There is a political calculation behind this explanation: Vance seeks to preserve the MAGA coalition without questioning Trump's entire path, while at the same time distancing himself from decisions that voters did not like. This allows him to strengthen his own position for a possible presidential run in 2028. By the way, Trump positively evaluated Vance's statement, and Donald Trump Jr. publicly supported it.
