More: background

Midterm elections determine control of Congress and are often seen as a referendum on the sitting president’s party. A “wipeout” means the party lost a large number of seats, weakening its legislative power. The “Trump dilemma” refers to European far‑right parties’ admiration for his nationalist agenda but concern that his personal brand could harm their electoral prospects.
