MARC THIESSEN RESPONDS TO CRITICS : ANYTHING YOU POST ABOUT ME , SAY IT ABOUT TRUMP

What happened: Marc Thiessen responded to critics of his election post-mortem, telling them to direct the same criticism at Donald Trump, and disputed JD Vance's claim that the Iran war caused the midterm loss. Why it matters: Thiessen argued the loss was historically typical for midterms and that gas prices, not the war, fed affordability concerns, while saying Democrats lack a mandate and could face a rebuke in two years.
