  "account": "On the early Wednesday morning, around five o'clock our time, it became clear that the Democrats had reclaimed control of the US Senate. The confirmation of their victory in the House of Representatives came somewhat later. As President Donald Trump's second term progressed, his domestic support had significantly weakened. The positive news from the night was the resilience of the US democracy, demonstrated by nearly incredulous Democratic celebrants. Despite intimidation attempts, newly drawn districts, legal challenges, and attempts to undermine Washington in individual US states, more people than expected expressed their discontent with Trump's policies and his kleptocratic power system. Even historically unprecedented high donations from US entrepreneurs, such as Elon Musk, failed to sway public opinion. Polls on Election Day revealed that around 60 percent of respondents rejected Trump's administration, including roughly one in five of those who had supported him in 2024. Persistently high living costs and inflation were the greatest concerns of the population, with a clear majority blaming Trump himself for prioritizing his own interests over those of the country. Many voters, driven by concerns about the state of democracy, cast their ballots for Trump's opponents, now seeing him as a symbol of autocratic danger rather than a source of hope for positive change.",
