Could the US midterms further isolate Israel in Washington?

As the midterm votes trickled in on Tuesday and Democrats locked up majorities in both chambers of the United States Congress, Republicans began pointing fingers at the Trump administration’s increasingly unpopular foreign policies. An unnamed pollster, Vance said, had asked voters who had switched parties for this election what would bring them back.

Summing up the causes for their displeasure with Trump’s government, they said they wanted an end to the war on Iran, action on the cost of living, a return to “America First” and a fundamental change in Washington’s relationship with Israel. All of it, voters say, went directly against Trump’s campaign promises to end the US involvement in foreign wars and to bring down the cost of living.

About six in 10 voters surveyed by The Associated Press said that going to war with Iran was the wrong decision. Even more called the cost of living key to their decision about how to vote in the midterm elections.
