  "account": "Foreign policy is often not a decisive factor in US midterm elections, typically overshadowed by economic concerns. However, this time it is different due to Donald Trump's aggressive foreign policies, particularly his war against Iran and sweeping tariffs, which are driving up costs for Americans. As the November 3 elections approach, voters are increasingly recognizing the connection between Trump's foreign policy and their financial hardships, posing a significant threat to his Republican party's control of Congress.",
  "summary": "“The bottom line is people are experiencing the impact of Trump’s war and other policies,” said Christopher Preble, a senior fellow at the Stimson Center think tank in Washington.",
