Democrats retake both chambers as Trump eyes exit strategy for 2028 race

In the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party regained majorities in both the House and Senate, dealing a major defeat to President Trump's Republican Party. Trump posted on social media that he intends to become a political commentator. The outcome was decided faster than expected, with analysts attributing the Democratic victory to voters abandoning Trump over his failure to address inflation. The results suggest a return to the Republican Party's traditional base, with shifts in states like Texas also contributing. Attention now turns to the 2028 presidential race, with Vice President Vance emerging as a potential Republican candidate. However, analysts note challenges for Democrats, including internal divisions and the need for leaders who can address economic and technological issues credibly.
