- He cited higher petrol prices as a factor in Republican losses.
- Democrats gained control of both chambers of Congress.

## Summary

After Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, President Donald Trump said he would veto legislation he considers “insane”, while expressing confidence he could still work with Democratic lawmakers. The results weaken his ability to advance his agenda and give Democrats more power to block nominees and investigate his administration.

Trump said higher petrol prices, linked to the conflict with Iran, may have contributed to Republican losses, although he argued voters supported his actions against Iran and that the economic effects would be temporary. Democrats flipped at least seven Republican-held Senate seats and more than two dozen House districts. Trump also criticised some Republican candidates for failing to energise his supporters, including those who had previously opposed him.
