News Review: US midterm elections fallout

US Vice President reportedly seeking to build new alliance with dissatisfied Republicans.

US media reports that Vice President JD Vance is seeking to build new political alliance with disaffected supporters of President Donald Trump following Republicans’ humiliating defeat in the midterms.

On Wednesday, Vance said the war on Iran was the real reason Republicans suffered losses in the November 3 elections, in what was widely interpreted as an effort to distance himself from Trump.
