华盛顿报道——副总统JD·万斯于本周三表示，他认为共和党失去参众两院控制权，是因为选民反对伊朗战争，他还称这场冲突或许不值得以共和党失去对参议院的控制权为代价。
在民主党于中期选举中大挫共和党后，万斯首次公开发言，他表示共和党必须正视这场战争对竞选的影响，才能确定该党的最佳前进路线。
“我们输的原因是这场战争。总统本人昨晚也这么说了，”万斯在X平台发布的帖子中写道，“如果你想争辩这是值得的，觉得为了赢下未来6年的参议院控制权付出这个代价也划算，那就去辩吧。你可以说这是值得付出的成本。同意也罢，反对也罢，至少这是诚实的。但所有人都知道我们输的原因是什么。任何关于未来方向的坦诚对话，都必须从这一点开始。”
副总统表示，许多在2024年大选中支持过特朗普总统和他的选民，在2026年改投民主党，原因有四个：结束伊朗战争、关注生活成本与通胀问题、美国优先，以及改变美国与以色列的关系。
“我们的选民出来投票了，”万斯写道，“而上述四个原因，就是他们中很多人投给民主党的理由。”
副总统强调了福克斯新闻主持人雷切尔·坎波斯-达菲呼吁就伊朗冲突达成“外交解决方案”的观点，称她的建议“是合理的”。万斯在春季的大部分时间里都带领美国谈判代表参与旨在结束冲突的谈判，并达成了一份与伊朗有关的旨在停火的协议，但这份协议后来以失败告终。
在帖子中，副总统称一名不愿透露姓名的数据分析师告诉他，在2024年投票支持他和特朗普的选民如今感到愤怒，将在中期选举中投票给民主党。他表示，如今看来，这一分析“颇具先见之明”。
“我们的选民确实出来投票了，”他写道，“比如在佛罗里达州，选民中共和党人比民主党人多9个百分点，仅比2024年差了几个百分点。毫无疑问，有些地方的投票率本可以更高。但主要问题不在于投票率。主要问题是，许多在2024年投票给特朗普/万斯的人，在2026年投给了民主党。”
万斯还表示，共和党的经济宣传信息在竞选最后几周可能“不够鲜明”。
“我对我们的国家仍抱有希望，”他说，“对于那些气不打一处来、想说‘我早就告诉过你了’的人：没错，你确实告诉过我们。把那股劲头用于选举出与你秉持相同世界观的共和党人身上吧。对于那些只是对结果感到愤怒的人，你们本该如此。让我们把那股怒火转化为行动，回到拯救国家的工作中去。”
民主党预计将在11个摇摆州中的10个获胜后，拿下至少54个参议院席位。阿拉斯加和密西西比州的参议院选举结果尚未确定，被评为胜负难分。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网估计，在所有选票计完后，民主党将掌控众议院251至268个席位。
特朗普总统于2月下旬发动了对伊朗的战争，当时他承诺这场战争只会持续4到5周。但此后战争已持续8个月，导致汽油价格飙升。
在本周二接受福克斯新闻采访时，总统表示，伊朗战争是共和党失利的部分原因，但他称“人们明白我所做之事的重要性”。
尽管如此，特朗普总统还是多次为对伊朗开战的决定辩护，并于本周二告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网，德黑兰绝不能研发出核武器。
总统表示，这场战争将在“我说停的时候”结束。
美国于周一在霍尔木兹海峡对伊朗目标发动了有限的防御性打击。根据国防部的数据，已有23名美国军人在这场冲突中身亡，865人受伤。
Vance blames Iran conflict for GOP midterm defeats: “The reason we lost is the war”
November 4, 2026 / 11:41 AM EST / CBS News
Washington— Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday that he believes Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress because of voters’ opposition to the war in Iran and suggested that the conflict may not have been worth the cost of losing the GOP’s hold on the Senate.
In his first public comments since Democrats’ rout of Republicans in the midterm elections, Vance said Republicans must be honest about the impact the war had on their campaigns in order to determine the best path forward for the party.
“The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night,” Vance wrote in a post on X. “If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.”
The vice president said many voters who backed President Trump and him in the 2024 presidential contest cast their ballots for Democrats in 2026 for four reasons: to end the war with Iran, focus on the cost of living and inflation, put America first and change the U.S. relationship to Israel.
“Our voters showed up,” Vance wrote. “And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats.”
The vice president highlighted Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy’s call to reach a “diplomatic resolution” to the conflict with Iran, saying that her recommendation was “sound.” Vance spent much of the spring leading U.S. negotiators in talks aimed at ending the conflict and reached an ill-fated agreement with Iran to halt the fighting that soon fell apart.
In his post, the vice president said an unnamed data analyst told him that voters who backed him and Mr. Trump in 2024 were angry and would vote for Democrats in the midterms. He said that analysis “looks prophetic now.”
“Our voters did show up,” he wrote. “In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026. “
Vance also said it’s likely the GOP’s economic messaging “wasn’t sharp enough” in the closing weeks of the campaign.
“I remain hopeful about our country,” he said. “To the people who are pissed off and want to say, ‘II told you so’: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.”
Democrats are expected to hold at least 54 seats in the Senate following wins in 10 of 11 battleground states. The Senate elections in Alaska and Mississippi are unresolved and rated as toss-ups. CBS News estimates Democrats will control between 251 and 268 seats in the House when all votes are counted.
Mr. Trump launched the war in Iran in late February and had pledged at the time that it would last only four to five weeks. But it has since stretched into its eighth month, leading to a spike in gas prices.
In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, the president suggested that the war with Iran was partially to blame for Republicans’ losses, but he said “people understand the importance of what I’ve done.”
Still, Mr. Trump has repeatedly defended his decision to go to war with Iran and told CBS News on Tuesday that Tehran must not be able to develop a nuclear weapon.
The president said the war will end “when I say it ends.”
The U.S. launched limited defensive strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. Twenty-three U.S. service members have been killed during the conflict, and 865 have been wounded, according to the Defense Department.
