In episode 135 of #Unraveled, Malik Mashhood and Marvi Sirmed discuss the dramatic 2026 US midterm results and what they mean for Donald Trump’s presidency. With Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress, the conversation explores whether this marks a turning point in American politics or simply a new phase of confrontation between Trump and Congress. The episode also unpacks the political impact of the Iran war, the possibility of renewed US strikes, and how Trump may use foreign policy to shape his legacy. Finally, the discussion turns to South Asia: Pakistan’s approach toward Trump, its role in Iran-related diplomacy, India’s strategy, and what changing power dynamics in Washington could mean for Pakistan-US relations.
