彭斯在中期选举后首次专访中反驳万斯：败选不是因为对伊朗开战，而是因为「没有打到底」
美国前副总统 Mike Pence 在中期选举后的第一次专访中，公开反驳现任副总统万斯对共和党败选原因的判断，并对万斯办公室在以色列问题上的言论表示「深感忧虑」。专访由福克斯新闻数字版（Fox News Digital）于 11 月 12 日刊出。
万斯在选举次日清晨在社交平台 X 发文说：「我们败选的原因就是这场战争。总统本人昨晚也是这么说的。」他还援引一名未具名民调人士的话说，流失的共和党选民希望政府结束冲突、处理通胀与生活成本、把美国放在首位，并「改变我们与以色列的关系」。
彭斯回应说：「我不同意副总统对中期选举结果成因的判断。毫无疑问，对伊朗的战争成了数以百万计美国人的挫败感来源，但那不是因为特朗普总统发动了战争、向伊朗开战，而是因为我们停在半路、没有把它打到底。」
他认为败选源于更广泛的方向转变：选民拒绝了保护主义关税、对俄罗斯乃至伊朗的绥靖政策，以及把生命权议题边缘化等做法；他还提到本届政府带有他所说的「腐败气息」。
谈到以色列，彭斯说，他对「从副总统办公室传出的有关以色列的言论深感忧虑」。他说：「就算世界只知道一件事，也应该知道美国站在以色列一边。以色列是我们最珍视的盟友，是阿拉伯世界唯一的民主国家。」他还说，左翼与右翼对以色列的批评「太经常滑向反犹主义与反犹言论」，令他「非常不安」；有些为美国支持以色列一事「捶胸顿足」的人，在他看来只是拿这件事作反犹主义的遮羞布。
一名万斯的盟友向福克斯新闻数字版回击说，彭斯「不得不退回智库世界，因为他的政治理念从未走出布什时代的新保守主义好战路线，正是那套东西把我们拖进了中东」，并称彭斯「与现实世界里人们的感受脱节得可笑」。福克斯新闻数字版表示已向白宫寻求置评，报道刊出时尚未获得回应。

In First Post-Midterm Interview, Pence Rebukes Vance: GOP Lost Not Because It Took On Iran, but Because 'We Stopped Short and Didn't Finish It'
Former Vice President Mike Pence, in his first interview since the midterm elections, publicly disputed Vice President JD Vance's explanation for the Republican Party's losses and voiced deep concern over statements on Israel coming from the vice president's office. The exclusive interview was published by Fox News Digital on November 12.
Vance wrote on X on the morning after Election Day: "The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night." He also cited an unnamed pollster who, he said, found that voters who had abandoned the Republican Party wanted the administration to end the conflict, tackle inflation and the cost of living, put America first and "change our relationship with Israel."
Pence responded: "I disagree with the vice president about the reasons for the midterm election outcome. There's no question that the war in Iran became a frustration for millions of Americans, but it wasn't because President Trump started the war or took on Iran. It's because we stopped short and didn't finish it."
He argued the defeat stemmed from a broader change of direction: voters rejected protectionist tariffs, policies of appeasement toward Russia and even Iran, and the marginalizing of the right to life, among other moves, and he pointed to what he called an "air of corruption" around the administration.
On Israel, Pence said he has "great concerns about what I've heard coming out of the vice president's office with regard to Israel." He said: "If the world knows nothing else, the world should know that America stands with Israel. Israel is our most cherished ally. It is the only democracy in the Arab world." He added that he is "very troubled at the way that criticism of Israel on the left and on the right collapses too often into antisemitism and antisemitic rhetoric," saying there is no place in America for antisemitism on either side, and that some of those wringing their hands over U.S. support for Israel seem to use it as a thinly veiled excuse for antisemitism.
An ally of Vance hit back to Fox News Digital, saying Pence "had to retreat into the think tank world because his politics never developed past the Bush-era neocon warmongering that dragged us into the Middle East in the first place," and calling him "laughably out of touch with how people feel in the real world." Fox News Digital said it had sought comment from the White House and had not received a response when the story was published.
