With Republicans facing growing voter frustration over the economy, the Iran war, and rising costs, the political landscape is shifting.

They also look beyond Election Day. What would a Democratic-controlled Congress mean for Trump's final two years in office? And how could the results reshape both parties as they prepare for the 2028 presidential election? Keep up with global news and why it matters. Follow GZERO!
