PoliticsPhoto: MintDemocrats Gain Congress in 2026 Midterms, Trump Blames Iran War
In the 2026 US midterm elections, Democrats flipped seven Senate seats and are projected to control the House, regaining both chambers of Congress. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance blamed the Republican losses on Trump's war against Iran. Trump admitted the war caused the defeat but defended his actions, saying he had "no choice" and would repeat them if necessary. This shift limits Trump's congressional control for the first time in his second term, potentially affecting his foreign policy on Iran.
