Trump's loss could become an Israeli victory – but there is one condition | Shlomo Shmir

Shlomo Shmir argues in his column that the Republican defeat in the midterm elections marks the beginning of the end of the Trump era, which was full of declarations but lacked achievements. He notes that Trump's approval rating stands at only 31%, and that the results could be turned into an Israeli victory through a change in the composition of the coalition in Jerusalem.

Shlomo Shmir argues in his column that the defeat suffered by the Republicans in the midterm elections indicates the beginning of the end of the Trumpism era. According to him, Trump was full of belligerent declarations but without any significant economic or other achievement for the residents. Shmir notes that Trump's job approval ratings stand at only 31%, an almost unprecedented low since Nixon and Watergate. He attributes the loss to the rising cost of living and the ongoing war in Iran, which Americans do not understand and do not support. Shmir argues that although the elections do not directly affect the president's powers, a Congress controlled by Democrats will interfere with the implementation of his decisions. In conclusion, he writes that the results can be turned into a positive development for Israel through a revolutionary change in the composition of the coalition and government in Jerusalem.
