President Donald Trump struck an unusually conciliatory tone Tuesday after Democrats scored a sweeping victory in the US midterm elections, according to France 24. Trump acknowledged that the war in Iran may have contributed to his Republican Party's losses, marking a rare moment of public credit for his political rivals.
The outcome hands Democrats control of Congress, reshaping the political landscape for the remainder of Trump's term. France 24 reported that the scale of the Democratic win caught many observers off guard.
Markets flinch
Investors responded cautiously on Wednesday, pulling back from AI-related stocks and shifting money into government bonds as they weighed the implications of a Democratic-controlled Congress, France 24 reported. The move reflected broader uncertainty among traders about how the shift in Washington's balance of power could affect economic policy ahead.
