Would it be good for the UK if Trump's Republicans lost control of Congress in the US midterms?

Republicans currently hold narrow majorities in both the House and the Senate, and the midterm elections take place on 3 November 2026. Final polls put Democrats ahead on the national ballot, and some projections have them winning the House. The Senate looks closer. Congress sets US spending and can check the president's tariffs, war powers and foreign policy, all of which affect the UK, including its trade deal, NATO and Iran-related military bases. A YouGov survey found most Britons prefer Democrats, while Reform voters lean Republican.

The Stalwart

Voted noRight lean

Trump is our only hope. The Democrats favour open borders, undermining the police & law &order, abortion up to birth, transgender extremism, basically they are pro WEF & Globalist.. they will do their best to stop the great work that is underway.. Hopefully they will fail.

Trump maybe a pita, but we really have no idea what the democrats have got in mind. And there will be trouble when democrat vote rigging is exposed again. Edited

Stripping Republicans of Congress is the only way to neuter Trump's reckless foreign policy and stop the UK from being dragged into his destructive trade wars
