Trump said that the polls are fake and talked about the ballroom. "The end of an era"

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Republican Party's loss in Congress reflects significant opposition to President Trump, largely due to his decision to engage in war with Iran, which led to rising fuel prices. This discontent among Trump's supporters contributed to the Democrats gaining a clear majority in both chambers. Other factors included immigration policies that sparked conflicts in cities and a shift in Trump's stance on immigration, which confused voters. Additionally, Trump's focus on personal projects, like the White House ballroom, detracted from addressing pressing political issues, further alienating potential supporters. Despite his involvement in numerous rallies, advisors downplayed his influence on the election outcome.
