  • The loss also hands Democrats the power to investigate, and the first business in line is the Trump family’s crypto company.

What Happened

Their answers center on the Iran war and household costs. The loss also hands Democrats the power to investigate, and the first business in line is the Trump family’s crypto company.

House Democrats plan to launch their agenda within 100 hours of the new Congress being seated in January, the Financial Times reported. It includes votes on ending the Iran conflict and undoing tariffs.

Market Context

The crypto industry enters that Congress behind. The CLARITY Act, a bill to set federal rules for crypto trading, failed in the Senate in September on a 49-50 procedural vote.

Why It Matters

World Liberty Financial, the family’s crypto firm, is likely the first target. Democrats are focused on a $500 million stake an Abu Dhabi royal bought while the firm seeks a national bank charter needing Treasury approval.

Details

Vice President JD Vance said Republicans lost Congress on Tuesday because Trump’s own 2024 voters switched sides, not because they stayed home. He cited a pollster who asked those defectors what would win them back.

What Did Trump’s 2024 Voters Say Would Bring Them Back?

The pollster, who runs opinion surveys, asked defecting Trump voters what would bring them back, and four answers made up nearly all the responses, Vance wrote in a post.

End the war

Focus on cost of living and inflation

Put America first

Change the US relationship with Israel

Florida voters still leaned 9 points Republican, near 2024 levels, Vance wrote.

Gas averaged $4.15 a gallon on Election Day, the highest of any US Election Day, according to AAA data cited by CBS.

Vance put the war first.

“The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.”

Trump tied the loss to the war’s costs in a Fox News interview, according to the Times of Israel.

“People agree with what I am doing on Iran but they probably weren’t willing to do the short-term consequence.”

Vance also said another pollster blamed weak economic messaging. He rejected amnesty for undocumented immigrants as the fix.

Why Trump’s Crypto Ventures Face Probes First

Rep. Robert Garcia, set to chair the Oversight Committee, told the Trump family to get lawyers, Fortune reported.

Trump’s crypto ventures have earned him more than $1 billion.
