According to available results, Democrats have taken control of the United States Congress, representing a significant defeat for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party. Analysts attribute the result to several decisions made by the administration, including the conflict with Iran, economic policy, and the actions of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. SITA ↗
Following the election debacle, Republicans are looking for who is to blame, with some pointing to Hegseth. Within the party, there have even been considerations about initiating a process to remove the secretary. The failure has also sparked discussion about the future direction of the Republicans and possible succession after Trump. Vice President JD Vance distanced himself from the war with Iran the day after the election. La Repubblica ↗
The election result could also have consequences for Washington's policy toward Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope that the Democrats' victory would lead to increased military and financial aid for Kyiv. At the same time, he said he is also grateful to Republicans for the assistance provided so far. teraz.sk ↗
However, analysts warn that a weakened Trump could, during his remaining years in the White House, focus on reaching a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin also expects Trump to continue his peace efforts even after the election. The future steps of the American administration could thus influence further support for Ukraine as well as negotiations to end the war. Der Standard ↗
