Vance Pushes Team Loyalty as Kent Resigns Over Iran War

At a Michigan event, Vice President JD Vance defended party unity, saying officials should help implement the president’s decisions and that Joe Kent’s resignation over the Iran war was appropriate given his opposition to Trump’s agenda. Trump criticized Kent as weak on security, while Kent accused Israeli pressure and misinformation of fueling the conflict. The war’s casualties and costs fuel public concern and reveal fractures within Trump’s base as the administration seeks to reassure voters about avoiding long wars.
