Republicans urge Trump to change policy after election defeat

The Republican Party faced a significant defeat in the midterm elections, losing control of both the House and Senate to Democrats. This loss may signal the decline of Donald Trump's political influence, as he faces pressure from party allies to change his approach. Republican strategist John Feehery described the election results as a "huge disaster" for Trump, emphasizing the need for personnel changes in the White House. Amid low morale among staff, the administration is preparing for potential cabinet reshuffles and investigations by Democrats. Despite acknowledging the negative impact of the ongoing conflict with Iran on Republican candidates, Trump defended his decisions and dismissed the election outcome as a personal setback.
