The results of the mid-term elections caused US President Donald Trump to lose much of his influence on the domestic political scene, after Democrats managed to turn the election into a referendum on his performance and policies, taking advantage of his declining popularity and anger at the cost of living and the war with Iran. According to the "Washington Post", the election results reflected a collapse in Republican support for Trump's leadership, although the president's influence seemed well-established on the political scene before the vote, noting that the party lost support in states and electoral districts where it made significant progress two years ago.
