Congress Leader P Chidambaram Says US Midterm Results Reflect the Victory of Liberalism, Secularism, Tolerance and Democratic Values.
Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram has said liberalism, secularism and tolerance triumphed in the US mid-term polls, asserting that the election outcome carried a lesson for all those who want to be citizens of a free and democratic country.
In a blow to US President Donald Trump, American voters earlier this week handed the opposition Democratic Party control of the US Congress and flipped key gubernatorial posts in elections with consequences far beyond America.
Commenting on the outcome, Chidambaram said the elections were held amid a cacophony of illegal immigration, invasion by Asians and Latin Americans, Islamophobic tropes, among other issues.
These concerns threatened to overwhelm bread-and-butter issues such as the cost of living, joblessness, fuel prices and law and order, he said in a post on X.

“Eventually, liberalism, secularism and tolerance — and the basic democratic sense and spirit of America — triumphed,” the former Union minister said.
“There is a lesson for all people who want to be citizens of a free and democratic country,” Chidambaram said.
Trump’s Republican Party suffered major defeats in its strongholds of Texas, Georgia, Iowa and Ohio, where it lost the governor’s posts to the Democrats
