Amid efforts to blame former President Donald Trump for GOP election losses in the midterms, J.D. Vance, Ohio’s newest senator-elect, said that such acts are a distraction and will backfire against the party itself. 
“Any effort to pin blame on Trump, and not on money and turnout, isn’t just wrong. It distracts from the actual issues we need to solve as a party over the long term,” Vance wrote in a Monday op-ed for “The America Conservatives.”
