What's behind this
Economic pressures and voter discontent over President Donald Trump’s war with Iran reshaped the 2026 midterm elections, delivering congressional control to Democrats and marking a political setback for Trump. The results sparked debate on the Iran policy, with Democrats winning 245 House seats and 54 Senate seats while Republicans suffered losses. Vance, who had long advocated for restraint in overseas interventions, distanced himself from Trump and led an unsuccessful effort to end the fighting. Analysts say the setback could lower the risk of sudden U.S. tariff escalations, giving India more leeway in trade talks, though overall trade uncertainty is expected to persist.
