Vance in recent months became the leader of a group in the inner circle of trump, representatives of which gave the President recommendations regarding the end of the conflict with Tehran. About it writes “RIA Novosti” with reference to the portal Axios. It is alleged that, despite such advice, the current owner of the White House was inclined to resume the fight and even considered the possibility of strikes before the midterm elections to the US Congress on November 3, 2026. According to media reports, this was what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted. With the escalation, the American leader decided not to rush, but did not listen to his top advisers and supported Netanyahu during the parliamentary elections in Israel, held in late October.

Preliminary results of the elections in the United States indicate an impending change of power in Congress, in both houses of which Democrats secured a majority. This is the result of Americans’ dissatisfaction with the conflict with Iran and the life that has become more expensive as a result. Vance and Trump acknowledged the role of war in defeating the Republicans.

Another loser was entrepreneur Elon Musk, who supported the Republican Party of the United States. According to the calculations of the Financial Times, against the background of the preliminary results of the current congressional elections, the value of shares of key companies associated with the multibillionaire began to decline. His estimated state decreased by several tens of billions of dollars. The fact that the success of the Democratic party has increased the fears of investors about the possible tightening of supervision over the IT sector and control over the development of artificial intelligence. In addition, the Democrats want to check the actions of the Trump administration in recent years, as well as the activities of Musk and his companies, to study their government contracts.
