> Independent presidential candidate Diane Sare said the Trump administration arrogantly underestimated Americans’ opposition to the Iran war and anger over the resulting rise in living costs. She called these factors important in the Democrats’ midterm victories and said independent and minor-party candidates drew more than 30% of the vote in some races.
