Opinion: Class politics shatters Trump's billionaire-blue collar coalition

A Guardian opinion column argues that US midterm voters rejected Donald Trump's coalition of tech billionaires and working-class supporters, with affordability and inequality driving the outcome. It cites record petrol prices, volatile food costs and rent struggles, noting the richest 400 households pay lower tax rates than the bottom 50% of Americans. The piece also says AI infrastructure accounted for most GDP growth.
