Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday dismissed what he called “idiotic” overreactions within the Republican Party following a series of Democratic victories in high-profile races across the country, including the New York City mayoral race and gubernatorial contests in New Jersey and Virginia.
In a post on X, Vance urged Republicans to keep perspective, arguing that the results in traditionally blue states should not spark panic. “I think it’s idiotic to overreact to a couple of elections in blue states,” he wrote, before outlining several takeaways for the GOP moving forward.
“Scot Pressler, TPUSA, and a bunch of others have been working hard to register voters,” Vance noted. “I said it in 2022, and I’ve said it repeatedly since: our coalition is ‘lower propensity,’ and that means we have to do better at turning out voters than we have in the past.”
Vance emphasized the administration’s economic progress, saying Republicans must stay focused on “the home front.” “The president has done a lot that has already paid off in lower interest rates and lower inflation,” he wrote. “But we inherited a disaster from Joe Biden and Rome wasn’t built in a day. We’re going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that’s the metric by which we’ll ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond.”
The vice president also cautioned against party infighting, calling it “stupid” and counterproductive. “I care about my fellow citizens—particularly young Americans—being able to afford a decent life, I care about immigration and our sovereignty, and I care about establishing peace overseas so our resources can be focused at home,” Vance said. “If you care about those things too, let’s work together.”
