Trump shocked by midterm loss but open to working with Democrats, analyst says

Political analyst Tarek Al-Shami said that US President Donald Trump is still shocked by the loss in the midterm elections, but is now ready to move forward and cooperate with the Democrats.

Al-Shami added, in a call with Al Arabiya FM, that Trump agrees with US Senator JD Vance in the analysis that the Iran war has caused price increases. At the same time, Trump notes that the past two years of his presidency were among the best for the United States. He also pointed out that the selection of certain figures within the Republican Party contributed to the party's defeat in the congressional midterm elections.

He continued that, notably, Trump has for the first time expressed a willingness to work with Democrats in the coming period, a shift from his previous criticism that Democrats "do not understand." Now, Trump is looking to the future and hopes for positive outcomes, including the possibility of reaching agreements with Democrats on budget bills and allocations for various legislative agendas he has proposed.
