🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️ — American Israel Public Affairs Committee congratulates "hundreds" of Democratic and Republican candidates that won their races last night:
AIPAC congratulates the hundreds of pro-Israel Democrats and Republicans who won their elections last night. More than 234 candidates supported by AIPAC members have already won, with many additional races still too close to call. We congratulate Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the resounding victories for their caucuses.
AIPAC members are determined to expand their political activism in the cycles ahead. Our community will increase its support for Democrats and Republicans who recognize that a strong partnership with Israel helps keep both countries secure, advances peace and stability, promotes democratic values, and grows our economy through trade and innovation.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump acknowledges the Republicans lost the midterms because of the Iran War:
I think it’s largely true, because it drove the gasoline up a little bit short term.

We ordered the marble for the floor, really magnificent marble. It’s a cut, a vein that people have been after for 50 years.
And the owner of the quarry didn’t want to sell it, but he liked me, and he was also so honored to be doing it for the country, for the White House.
The marble floor, you’ll see, is the most beautiful marble you’ll ever see. It’s a special vein.
This is a vein that everybody wanted for a long time, and I got it for the floor of the ballroom at the White House.

It will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world.
