Trump Admits Iran War Hurt Republicans in Historic Midterm Defeat President Donald Trump admitted that the US war in Iran weighed heavily on Republican losses in the midterms, although he insisted the decision was justified in the long run. Democrats secured control of both the House and Senate, with sweeping victories including Texas, a state they hadn't won in more than three decades. Incoming House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer say ending the Iran war and reversing Trump's agenda will be top priorities when the new Congress convenes in January.
