Reactions Emerge After 2026 US Midterm Elections Shift Control to Democrats
Following the 2026 US midterm elections, where Democrats gained control of both Congress chambers, reactions emerged from different quarters. In Tehran, people burned banners of US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reflecting opposition to the Republican losses. Trump responded to Vance's comments linking the Iran conflict to the election defeat, acknowledging the war's short-term impact but defending his decision to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He also expressed willingness to cooperate with the new Democratic-controlled Congress unless met with obstruction.
