‘Elect Dems, get chaos’: GOP invokes France riots in midterm warning; Paris probes far-left funding

President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator Ted Cruz have blamed immigration policies and the political left for the turmoil, while Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna argues that the protests also reflect deep-rooted grievances over housing costs, teacher shortages, public services and economic inequality.
