war in Iran; One of the important factors in the electoral defeat of Trump's allies in America The war that Donald Trump started against Iran became one of the important factors in the electoral defeat of the Republicans in the midterm elections on November 3, 2026. Reports indicate that the Democrats had a significant performance in this election and the Republicans lost their seats in some important contests. The important point here is that Iran's war due to the closing of the Strait of Hormuz was not only a foreign policy issue; Instead, its economic consequences entered directly into the daily lives of the American people and became the cause of increasing public discontent. According to the Reuters report: a significant part of the voters were not satisfied with the increase in the cost of living and the price of fuel. Many Americans believed that Trump's policies, including the war with Iran and trade tariffs, made economic conditions difficult. Trump's popularity in polls on election day reached 38%. Trump's electoral support among rural, young and Latino voters has also declined. Some signs of the impact of the Iran war on the election atmosphere in America: 1. The increase in gasoline and diesel prices in the US, which put more financial pressure on households and increased voter dissatisfaction. 2. According to a joint poll by Reuters and Ipsos in mid-October, only 34 percent of Americans supported US military strikes against Iran, and 54 percent believed the war was not worth the costs paid for it. 3. Democrats won the important Senate races in North Carolina, Georgia and New Hampshire. In North Carolina, Roy Cooper managed to take over the Republican seat. The Iran war has become a political and electoral expense for Trump. He returned to power with a promise to improve the economic situation and prioritize the interests of the American people, but the war, the increase in fuel prices and the resulting costs, cast doubt on these promises. From this point of view, the Iran war can be considered one of the most important factors in weakening the Republicans and damaging Trump's electoral position.
