Political analyst Rami Khouri stated that the results of the U.S. midterm elections reflect widespread public dissatisfaction with Donald Trump's policies, noting that the war with Iran has highlighted deeper economic and political grievances. Khouri pointed out that the majority of Americans do not want the war to continue, and that the conflict has also amplified concerns over inflation, rising oil prices, economic hardship, and U.S. support for Israel. He emphasized that while the war with Iran played a role in the elections, it was not the sole reason voters backed the Democratic Party; rather, it represents a convergence of various factors driving negative public perceptions of Donald Trump and the broader U.S. economy.
