Half a billion dollars didn't help. Expert explains the failure of Trump's policy

Eugeniusz Smolar from the Center for International Relations analyzed the Republican Party's defeat in the U.S. midterm elections, attributing it to rising living costs, inflation, and the impact of Trump's foreign policy. Despite over half a billion dollars in support from wealthy backers, including Elon Musk, the Republicans failed to secure victories. Smolar emphasized that Trump's actions eroded public trust and led to significant economic consequences, particularly due to the war in Iran, which affected oil prices and increased costs for Americans. He noted that the frustration among voters was palpable, contributing to the Democrats' gains in traditionally Republican states like Kansas.
