Vance Urges Voters to Give GOP Another Chance in Midterms

Vice President JD Vance urged voters to give Republicans another chance in the 2026 midterms, framing the upcoming election as a choice between GOP common sense and Democratic radicalism. In a podcast interview on September 15, 2026, Vance made the appeal as part of the administration's closing message to retain control of Congress. "There's a lot of good that's been done, but there's a lot of work left to do. Don't give power to the people who cause the problems that we're fixing. Give us another chance, or give us another couple years, to continue to work on the amazing things that we've been doing for the past two years," Vance said on the All In podcast. The comments quickly drew criticism from Democrats. Top House Democrat Rep. Hakeem Jeffries wrote on social media, "Vance to America: Republicans have failed but give us another chance. Jeffries to Vance: Get Lost. It's over for MAGA extremism in November." Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz shared the clip, calling it "the most mind boggling midterm pitch I've ever heard in my life." Vance acknowledged that voters may not agree with every policy but urged them to focus on the administration's achievements and contrast with Democrats.
