Trump blames Iran war for midterms losses
President Donald Trump said the war in Iran likely contributed to Republican setbacks in the midterm elections
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around Republican blame for the midterms defeat and Trump’s attempt to deflect responsibility. France 24 foregrounds Trump’s effort to shift blame and says the losses can be traced to his decisions, while the BBC centers angry Republicans telling it his focus on his legacy and indifference to voter concerns cost them.
