The Democratic Party dealt a major blow to President Donald Trump in the 2026 US midterm elections, flipping the Georgia gubernatorial mansion with Keisha Lance Bottoms’ historic win and flipping key Senate seats in North Carolina and South Carolina. While Indian-Americans Pia Dandiya and Suhas Subramanyam captured US House seats and Aruna Miller retained Maryland’s lieutenant governorship, Trump-endorsed Vivek Ramaswamy lost Ohio’s gubernatorial race, pushing Democrats to the edge of retaking the House.

In an unprecedented political blow to the ruling National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir, Srinagar MP Aga Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday announced his resignation from both the party and the Lok Sabha during a massive public gathering in Budgam. Accusing Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of ‘incompetence’ and betraying the 2024 Assembly mandate on Article 370, free power, and reservation reforms, Ruhullah announced plans to build an independent platform of dedicated local youth rather than join another political party.

The U.S. military has destroyed 16 Iranian vessels attempting to mine the Strait of Hormuz, marking a sharp escalation in the ongoing regional war. As President Trump threatens a military response “never seen before,” Iran has doubled down on its vow to block all oil exports through the vital waterway, pushing the global economy toward a potential energy shock.
