GOP losses test Trump
Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate in the midterm elections amid voter frustration over the rising cost of living, putting President Donald Trump to a tough economic test. Annual inflation stood at 3.7% through September 2026, while energy prices rose 20.4% and gasoline prices 34.2%, alongside continued burdens from housing and healthcare costs. One poll found that 69% consider affordable healthcare a priority, while 57% want housing costs to be prioritized. The result reflects the fact that positive economic indicators failed to persuade voters so long as they did not improve their purchasing power, while Democratic control of Congress gives the party greater scope to scrutinize and influence legislation and spending.
