November 5, 2026 at 06:32 AM
The Republican Party's loss of Congress in the midterm elections has divided the party over the future of Trump's MAGA movement ahead of 2028.
- The Democratic Party won control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections.
- Vice President JD Vance wrote on X that "the reason we lost is the war" and urged ending the conflict and addressing the cost of living.
- Trump said he would have "done nothing different" and called Vance's assessment of the war's impact "probably right."
- DeSantis called the losses "close to an extinction level event" and wrote that Republicans might not regain Senate control until 2032.
