US voters on Tuesday handed the Democratic Party control over Congress in a biting rebuke to President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement. Polls suggest that rising anger about the cost-of-living crisis partly set off by the president’s decision to launch the US-Israeli war on Iran played a crucial part in the Democrats’ historic victory.
