Trump-Dems Clash After GOP Loss
U.S. President Donald Trump is refusing to change course after Republicans lost control of Congress, as the White House prepares to use vetoes and executive orders to counter expected Democratic legislation and investigations. Democrats are seeking to tie government funding, which is due to expire on December 11, to a ban on funding military operations in Iran, amid warnings of a possible government shutdown. Their House leader, Hakeem Jeffries, has also announced efforts to end the war and hold administration officials accountable. Economic pressures are intensifying criticism of Trump. A poll found that roughly two-thirds of voters blame his policies for rising inflation. Meanwhile, the economy added 165,000 jobs in October and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, while wages grew by 3.1%, compared with inflation of 3.7%. The Nasdaq fell 5.5% and the S&P 500 dropped 4.4%, as Republicans called for a review of tariffs and the war in Iran, as well as changes within the administration.
