Political science professor cites five reasons for Republican losses in Congress

Political science professor Ihsan Al-Khatib has identified five reasons behind the Republican Party's losses in the US congressional midterm elections.

Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya, Al-Khatib said the Republican setbacks were due to several factors, including divisions over Israel and the war, immigration policies, rising living costs, and weak voter enthusiasm. He also noted that JD Vance, a US senator, bears part of the responsibility.

He added that the defeat was significant, pointing to internal divisions within the Republican Party, especially on issues such as Israel. Al-Khatib mentioned that several figures are currently being considered as potential successors to Donald Trump, including JD Vance.
