US Republicans after the midterms: Go to the middle

The Trump coalition is broken, say Frank Hornig and Britta Kollenbroich, both of whom report from the USA for SPIEGEL.

Latinos, farmers, oil workers and parents in Texas have spoken out over President Donald Trump's broken promises.

He himself acknowledged the defeat and then, with an appearance at the construction site of his ballroom, confirmed the impression of many voters that he cares more about himself than the country.

Now it's the Democrats' turn: "What we'll definitely see is a big clean-up when it comes to the laws," says Kollenbroich.

However, there is no consensus among Democrats on the question of whether they should also seek impeachment proceedings against Trump.

Among the Republicans, the first ones are distancing themselves from Trump; the SPIEGEL correspondents expect a lot of innovation here.

Particularly in focus: Vice President JD Vance.
