  "account": "The Republican Party, led by US President Donald Trump, suffered a significant defeat in the midterm elections, losing their majorities in both houses of Congress. The party's core voter base revolted due to rising gasoline prices, which were fueled by Trump's Iran war. The issue of affordability is also relevant in Europe, with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham stating that the world must come together to address the problem. Meanwhile, Bayern's Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger, also chairman of the Free Voters party, was found dead in a Berlin hotel room at the age of 55.",
  "summary": "The US President has lost above all on one issue with his core voters. This is one that is also becoming increasingly urgent in Europe.",
