Trump's Historic Defeat Ends His Ukraine Mediation

Donald Trump suffered a historic defeat in the U.S. midterm elections, with Democrats winning an absolute victory that surpassed even the most optimistic forecasts. Democrats secured approximately 250 seats in Congress, their largest majority in twenty years, and achieved stunning Senate victories in states like Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina where they had not won for decades. Trump's remaining two years in office will be dominated by investigations from Democrat-controlled committees. Trump can no longer appoint judges, advance legislation, or effectively pursue international agreements, including his mediation efforts on the Russia-Ukraine war. All parties, including Republicans, will now await and accelerate his political exit.
