It’s the US election result Democrats almost didn’t dare to dream of. 

But with anger mounting over the cost of living amid President Donald Trump’s war with Iran, traditionally conservative states across America flipped blue on Tuesday (local time).

Today, editor-at-large of The National Interest, Steve Clemons, discusses where Trump went wrong, what the Democrats will do with their new powers in Congress, and whether this spells the end of MAGA.
