Vice President JD Vance used a speech marking National Veterans’ Small Business Week to joke about Ohio State’s recent loss, saying the team faced criticism, internal turmoil and questions about whether its No. 2 could lead. The remarks also carried a political edge: Republicans had suffered major midterm losses, and Vance had blamed the Iran war for the party’s defeat in a public post, a view reportedly at odds with President Donald Trump. Vance voiced confidence that backup quarterback Luke Fahey and the Buckeyes would turn things around.

Marco Rubio said Republican losses in the midterm elections would not change President Trump’s foreign policy, emphasizing the president’s authority and the administration’s continued “America First” approach. At a Paris G7 meeting, allies showed divisions over Iran, Russia’s war in Ukraine and the International Criminal Court, while the U.S. said it would pursue diplomatic efforts to end the conflicts.
