The midterm losses are now forcing a reckoning inside the Republican Party. Democrats have secured control of both chambers, and Republicans are preparing to choose their leaders in the minority. John Thune is expected to remain the Senate Republican leader, but the House contest is less settled, with Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan competing for the top position. Trump loyalists blame some Republicans for failing to push his agenda hard enough. Others point to the economy, tariffs, Medicaid cuts and the Iran war. The party now has to defend the administration with fewer votes and a Democratic Congress preparing investigations.
