Midterm Blame on Hegseth
The Republicans’ loss in the 2026 midterm elections, and the Democrats’ seizure of control of both chambers of Congress, intensified pressure on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Republican and Democratic lawmakers threatened to hold him accountable over crises in his department, the war with Iran, and its economic fallout. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance acknowledged that the war and rising fuel prices contributed to the defeat, while Trump continues to publicly support Hegseth. Observers believe that keeping the secretary in his post could heighten the confrontation with Congress and hamper the administration, leaving Trump to choose between standing by him and firing him to ease the political pressure.
