- Democrats made major gains in both chambers of Congress.
- The Iran war and Trump’s policies drew criticism.

## Summary

Donald Trump walked away from a British reporter who asked how it felt to be “a loser”, after his party suffered heavy losses in the mid-term elections. The results have weakened Republican control in Congress and prompted questions about the impact of Trump’s policies and leadership.

The article says Democrats won seats in both the Senate and House, including in states previously considered Republican strongholds. It cites the war in Iran, tariffs and the cost of living as factors in voters’ dissatisfaction. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticised Trump’s approach to allies and trade, while Vice-President JD Vance blamed the Iran war for the losses. Trump also announced that Susie Wiles would leave as chief of staff and be replaced by Stephen Miller.
