US midterms: voters reject Trump’s ‘golden age’ claims amid Iran war and costs
Briefing by News4U · First published
The Guardian reports that voters rejected Donald Trump’s narrative of a ‘golden age,’ citing the Iran war, high living costs and corruption as key factors in Republican losses. Trump claimed the US had achieved more than any administration and kept every promise, but voters did not approve of the Iran war or experience a ‘golden age’ as they paid for groceries and fuel. Republicans running for office across the country faced hostility over gas prices, the Iran war, tariffs, datacenters, healthcare costs and the administration’s aggressive deportation scheme. Trump elevated Stephen Miller to chief of staff and wrote on Truth Social that he was not on the ballot. [1]
