Trump blames anti-Israel sentiment for Republican midterm losses
President Donald Trump blamed growing anti-Israel sentiment among Americans for Republican losses in last week's midterm elections, which gave Democrats control of both the House and Senate. In a CBS 60 Minutes interview, Trump cited his absence from the ballot, dissatisfaction with some Republican candidates, opposition to the war, and rising fuel prices as key factors. He added that Americans have "a great dislike" for Israel, without elaborating further. The remarks come amid Republican debate over ties with Israel, with Vice President JD Vance suggesting the party may need to reconsider that relationship. Trump also hinted at possible cabinet changes but praised Secretary of State Marco Rubio's performance.
