Trump's Foreign Foes Cheer GOP Midterm Defeat

Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate on Tuesday, and power shifts in January. The foreign fan club is thrilled. Tehran's parliament speaker says Americans said no to war, citing cost of living, which is a strange place for a regime to pick up a pump-price talking point. Spain's Pedro Sánchez says voters rejected policies that make people poorer, hate and climate denial, a list that sounds like a bad campaign slogan. Beijing calls the midterms an internal affair, a fine position from a government that doesn't hold them. Canada and Japan are already talking about working with the incoming majority, which is diplomacy's version of switching seats to the winning team. Trump says he would have won in a landslide had his name been on the ballot, a plot twist my editor would cut as unrealistic.
