On The Daily Blast, Greg Sargent and Nicholas Grossman take up the GOP's midterm catastrophe, which they say is straining Donald Trump and JD Vance's relationship: Vance posted a statement blaming "the war" for the loss while dodging direct criticism of Trump, and Trump fired back a warning shot putting Vance on notice against any distancing. Grossman, who has never seen a vice president break with an administration this way, says corruption and the Iran war drove the loss, calls the break a possible play for Vance's 2028 fortunes in a party splitting over Israel, and forecasts Republicans will crack up rather than rally around Trump.
