Diplomacy, weapons and Israel: what could change if Democrats win the midterm elections

Independent analysts in the United States believe Democrats have a good chance of winning a majority in the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate as well in the midterm elections, which will be held on November 3. A victory would give them a share of power in Washington after two years under Republican leadership. Trump began the war with Iran on February 28 without first obtaining congressional approval. Meanwhile, Democrats have repeatedly voted for the fighting to end. If they gain control of the House of Representatives or the Senate, they could cut defense spending to pressure Trump to seek congressional authorization to continue the war. They could also require administration officials to testify publicly about their plans.
