Democrats Win Midterms as Voters Reject Trump Agenda

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

Democrats won control of both the US House and Senate in the midterm elections, defeating Republican candidates in states like Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina. The result was a major rebuke of Donald Trump's presidency and agenda. High living costs and an unpopular Iran war were central factors, with nearly nine in 10 voters citing affordability as a key issue. Trump-backed candidates in several Senate races lost, and his approval among younger and Hispanic voters dropped sharply from 2024 levels. Dissatisfaction extended to Trump's base, with former allies like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson criticizing him. About seven in 10 voters wanted Congress to check presidential power more, reflecting concerns over corruption and a desire for institutional balance.
