It’s been a long night for President Donald Trump in the US midterm elections. The Democrats have taken control of both the House and the Senate, inflicting defeat on the Republican Party. Despite him not being on the ballot, this was for many, a referendum on Trump and his record in office.
The Iran war, rising gas prices, tariffs, aggressive immigration enforcement, allegations of corruption and scandal have all played a part. But perhaps most damagingly, the coalition that carried Trump to victory two years ago has fallen apart: Hispanic voters, young people and working-class Americans have all turned against him.
So what does this mean for Trump’s final two years in office? And is it an end to MAGA as we know it?
