## Summary

The College Republican Patriot Coalition (CRPC), a network of student Republican groups aligned with America First, blamed the Trump administration and the Republican Party for the GOP’s major losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Its statement said the defeat followed unmet campaign promises and urged the party to change course.

The coalition said young supporters had worked for lower costs, mass deportations, reindustrialisation and an end to foreign wars, but saw a weak economy, limited deportations and a war with Iran. It called the Iran conflict the administration’s “greatest betrayal” and urged Trump to end it, focus on affordability and remove officials it said had failed to deliver.
