Why Did Republicans Lose The Midterms?

Published by

President Donald Trump has acknowledged that high fuel costs hurt Republicans in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Speaking to Fox News, Trump said voters were unhappy about paying more for gas, as the Iran war kept oil prices elevated through the campaign. Brent crude traded above $100 a barrel for much of October. Trump said he does not see the results as a blow to his presidency, even as his party is projected to lose both chambers of Congress. He congratulated Democrats, saying they had been working towards this for years. Trump also pointed to the economy and border security as his main achievements over the past two years.
