Donald Trump called the increase in fuel prices a major reason for the defeat of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives elections. In an interview with Fox News, he said voters supported his Iran policy but were unprepared for its economic consequences. "People agree with what I'm doing with Iran, but they probably weren't ready to deal with the short-term consequences of rising gas prices," Trump said. However, he refused to see the results of the vote as a personal loss. According to NBC News, Democrats have majorities in both houses of Congress.
