'Democratic' Earthquake Strikes 'Republicans'

- Vance: Iran’s war caused our loss – For the first time .. Three African-American women in the Senate – “Abdul” the first Muslim senator and “Hamwi,” a Gaza doctor, wins a New Jersey seat – Historic election spending reaches $11.9 billion

The Democratic Party secured wide gains in yesterday’s U.S. midterm elections, taking control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, dealing a setback to President Donald Trump that will reshape the balance of power in Washington during the remaining two years of his second term.

Trump acknowledged his party’s defeat in the elections, admitting that the conflict with Iran contributed to the Republicans’ crushing loss. However, the U.S. president downplayed the Democrats’ ability to push through their legislative agenda, stating he would use his veto power against bills he described as “crazy.”

Reports confirmed that total election spending reached a record high of $11.9 billion, significantly higher than the $8.9 billion spent in 2022.

Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Abdulsalam “Abdul” Elshorbagy won a U.S. Senate seat from Michigan after defeating his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, becoming the first Muslim elected to the Senate in U.S. history.

Doctor Adam Hamwi, who volunteered to work in Gaza, also won a seat in the House of Representatives after defeating Republican Greg Murphy in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, becoming the first Muslim and the first Arab-American to represent the state in Congress.

Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar won a fifth term in the House of Representatives after defeating Republican candidate John Nagle in Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District election.
