The morning after the midterms, the two parties set out very different readings of the result. Democratic leaders said voters had handed them a mandate to check the president and to act on prices, and they promised votes on the cost of living when the new Congress sits. President Trump, appearing in public for the first time since the defeat, walked reporters through the new White House ballroom he is building. Reuters reported that anger over his policies, above all the war with Iran and its effect on living costs, drove the Democratic sweep of the House and the Senate.
