Vice-President JD Vance blamed the Iran war for the Republicans' midterm defeat, and Donald Trump himself acknowledged it had hurt the party, The Hindu reported.
In an AP survey of about 100,000 voters, most said Mr Trump's own policies had slowed growth and pushed up costs.
Voters in dozens of towns approved limits or bans on large data centres, including one that threatens a $1 billion-plus Meta project in Ohio.
