The victory gives Democrats control of congressional oversight and significantly reshapes the remainder of Trump’s presidency. Foreign governments are assessing how the result could affect US policy toward Iran, Israel, Ukraine and other conflicts, while Iran’s chief negotiator characterized the outcome as an American vote against war. Trump has acknowledged the conflict’s role in the defeat, and the change in congressional control is likely to intensify political scrutiny of the administration’s foreign-policy decisions.
