Former US Vice President Mike Pence, Trump's first partner, refuted the recent statement by current US J.D. Vance that “the Iran war caused the Republican Party to fail miserably in the midterm elections.” Pence believes that the problem is not starting a war, but rather the failure to carry it out to the end. “We lost the election not because President Trump started a war or acted against Iran, but because we abandoned halfway and didn't get things done,” Pence said.
