US President Donald Trump’s Republican Party has undergone significant changes following the recent midterm elections. The party’s congressional candidates have been selected for November’s elections, with some notable figures losing their seats.
Representative Thomas Massie, a prominent critic of certain issues, was among those unseated. His stance on releasing Epstein files contributed to his loss.
The Democratic Party released a report on performance, which noted that there is “a persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters”. This statement has been made by the party.
Former Trump aide Hogan Gidley and Matt Duss, former adviser to Senator Bernie Sanders, have shared their perspectives on the challenges facing both parties.
