  "account": "Leading Republicans have reacted strongly to their party's midterm election losses, calling for an honest analysis of the results. Vice President JD Vance distanced himself from the Iran war, which was started by President Donald Trump and led to increased fuel prices in the US. Republican Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis described the loss as a \"political meteorite impact\" and a rejection of the president and Congress. The Democrats have gained a majority in both houses of Congress, with 54 Senate seats and over 240 House seats, and will now lead the legislative agenda, potentially making it harder for Trump to govern in his final two years.",
  "summary": "The Americans are using the midterm elections for a historic reckoning with President Trump. Is the pressure now also growing on the Republican Party from within?",
