LIVE, midterms 2026: the war in Iran fractures the Trump camp, an election that could be historic in Mississippi

The aftermath of JD Vance's comments linking the Republican defeat to the Iran war is causing rifts within the party. In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom is leading against incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith, potentially becoming the first Black senator from the state since Reconstruction. The Republican Party faces challenges as Trump's support fails to secure victories, with many of his endorsed candidates losing. The Democratic win could impact future Supreme Court nominations, as a new Democratic majority in the Senate may block Trump's choices. The situation is further complicated by billionaire donations influencing both parties, with significant funds flowing into the 2026 elections.
