US voters reject Trump’s ‘mirror world’ in midterm sweep

theguardian.com —

US voters rejected President Donald Trump's "mirror world" narrative in Tuesday's midterm elections, delivering sweeping losses to Republicans despite his claims of a "golden age" amid soaring prices and the Iran war. Voters cited economic hardship, corruption concerns, the Iran conflict, tariffs, and deportation policies as key factors. Many who previously supported Trump said they felt lied to, with Republicans losing races across battleground states like Arizona. Republican leaders now debate Trump's future influence, while Democrats caution the results signal voter frustration with politics as usual rather than broad endorsement. Officials in both parties face pressure to restore public trust.
