AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoMidterm Stakes: Americans voted in races that could shift control of Congress, with high living costs and the Iran war weighing on voters. All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are on the ballot; forecasts suggest Democrats could make gains, but the outcome remains uncertain. Iran Conflict: U.S. forces struck targets on Iran’s Qeshm Island, near the Strait of Hormuz, as diplomacy continued and energy prices jumped. Former ambassador Ted Osius said a Democratic-controlled Congress could use its spending power to constrain the war, but would have less leverage over Trump’s tariffs. Israel Aid: Trump said the U.S. will end roughly $4 billion in annual aid to Israel by year’s end, framing the move as a way to blunt criticism from Democrats. Campaign Finance: Montana voters are deciding whether to bar corporations and other organizations from spending to influence state elections, a measure supporters say could challenge the reach of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling.
