新西兰选举委员会数据显示，在已统计10.9%的选票中，执政党国家党领导的联盟可能再次执政。

Buoyed by midterm gains and citing voter concern over high living costs and inflation, several Democratic lawmakers said they will push to repeal what they called unreasonable Trump-era tariffs. Massachusetts Representative Richard Neal said he is committed to reversing Trump administration tariffs and behind-the-scenes trade deals. Oregon Senator Ron Wyden said he will pursue legislation, once he becomes Senate Finance Committee chair in January, targeting tariffs tied to a potential second Trump term. New York Representative Hakeem Jeffries, expected to be House speaker next year, said tariffs and the prospect of war with Iran are among GOP policies that have raised living costs and pledged to act to lower them.

CNN reports Donald Trump will sit for his first televised interview since the GOP’s midterm losses on CBS’s 60 Minutes. The interview with 60 Minutes reporter Ross Douthat is expected to be recorded Friday and broadcast Sunday evening; CBS sources say the arrangement is confirmed but the interview has not yet taken place. The White House calendar lists a pre-recorded interview at 10:30 a.m. ET Friday. 60 Minutes averaged about 10 million viewers last Sunday.
