What's behind this
US midterm elections in 2026 resulted in a Democratic sweep of Congress, with the party taking control of the House and securing a Senate majority by flipping at least four seats, including traditionally Republican states such as Texas, Kansas and South Carolina. The outcome was accompanied by a surge in stock markets and a decline in oil prices. India Today noted that Americans had borne the cost of former President Trump’s tariffs on India and that voters later penalised Republicans in the polls. Hindustan Times reported that the Trump administration had held talks with Iran about deporting Iranians during the war.
