In the midterm election held in the United States in November 2026, Democrats have taken control of both the House and the Senate after winning key seats in the strongholds of the Republicans. The Vice-President of the United States, JD Vance, attributed the crushing defeat to the war going on in Iran as well as the high cost of living. The Democrats vowed to use their newly gained power to address issues of affordability, remove the tariffs of Trump, and stop the war.
