[US Vice President JD Vance Makes Rare Statement: Midterm Election Loss Mainly Due to War, Not Voter Turnout] Odaily Planet Daily reports that US Vice President JD Vance posted on the X platform, stating that although pre-election polls showed a Democratic landslide victory, Republican data consistently indicated a voter composition close to 2024 levels, with some states showing decent or even strong voter turnout, without a catastrophic decline. He cited Florida as an example, noting that the state's voter composition is still 9 percentage points higher than the Democratic Party's, only a few percentage points lower than in 2024. JD Vance stated that the real problem is not voter turnout, but rather the large number of voters who voted for Trump and himself in 2024 switching to the Democratic Party in the 2026 midterm elections. He cited a pollster who accurately predicted the results, stating that if these disillusioned voters return to the Republican Party, the four most common reasons given are: ending the war, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, adhering to "America First," and changing relations with Israel. He further stated that the real reason for the defeat was the war, a statement the president had publicly made the previous night; and that in the coming months, some might package amnesty as a solution, but he believed those pushing for amnesty were lying. As for whether it was worth losing control of the Senate for the next six years, he said it was at least the starting point for honest debate.
