Trump's midterm disaster: Are Republicans turning against him? | DW News

Donald Trump has suffered a crushing defeat in the US midterm elections. Democrats have won control of both houses of Congress, and Republicans are already questioning the president's leadership. But are Americans about to see a fundamental change in Washington?

The election has exposed divisions within both parties. Trump has acknowledged that his immigration crackdown may have gone too far, while appointing its architect, Stephen Miller, to lead his White House. Vice President JD Vance has blamed the Republican defeat on the war with Iran, putting him at odds with the president.

Meanwhile, Democrats are divided over what their victory means. Progressives and moderates are competing to define the party's future, while questions grow about the leadership of Chuck Schumer and the direction of the new Congress.
On DW News' The Day, we speak to Bruce Stokes, visiting senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund and a longtime analyst of American public opinion.

We examine whether Trump is losing his grip on the Republican Party, whether Democrats can translate electoral success into meaningful change, and what the political upheaval means for US relations with Europe.

With voters demanding action on the cost of living and other pressing issues, will Washington deliver, or are Americans facing another two years of political gridlock?
