Blue tsunami: what does it mean for Britain?

from Coffee House Shots

Donald Trump has suffered a generational defeat in the US midterms, with Democrats making sweeping gains across the country. Has the Trump coalition finally fallen apart? And what does the result mean for the future of the Republican Party? James Heale is joined by US Editor Freddy Gray and Political Editor Tim Shipman to discuss the fallout. Is this a vote against Trump rather than an endorsement of the Democrats? And could the result pave the way for a 2028 presidential run by Ron DeSantis or JD Vance? Plus: could Trump's response to the defeat reignite tensions with Iran, and what might that mean for Britain? And in Westminster, who came out on top at PMQs, as Alex Burghart faced Louise Haigh?
