Trump Says Republicans Would Have Won Midterms in a 'Landslide' If He Had Been on the Ballot
Trump said Republicans would have won in a landslide if he had been on the ballot as Democrats captured Congress and blamed inflation and war concerns.
- On Tuesday, Democrats won control of both the U.S. House and Senate, delivering a widespread repudiation of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in the 2026 midterm elections.
- Voter frustration with high costs, the Iran war, and government corruption fueled the results, with national polling showing voters blamed the Trump administration for economic concerns and demanded congressional checks on the president.
- Democrats flipped seven Senate seats in ruby-red states, including Texas, where Democrat James Talarico defeated Ken Paxton, and Kansas, where Adam Hamilton unseated Republican Senator Roger Marshall.
- House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the victory a 'patriotic' moment, as party leaders prepared to utilize committee subpoena power to launch investigations into the Trump administration's activities.
- President Trump vowed to use his veto pen against legislation, yet told The New York Times on Tuesday he is willing to cooperate with incoming Democratic leadership.
