Vice President JD Vance has said that the Republican Party needs to “do better” at increasing GOP voter turnout in forthcoming elections after Democratic victories in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey on Tuesday night.

While it is “idiotic to overreact” to elections in Democratic-led states, Vance wrote on X that Republicans’ coalition is of a “lower propensity,” meaning the GOP has “to do better at turning out voters than we have in the past.”
