Trump on Republican Losses: 'I Don’t View It as a Hit on Me'
Trump said he will accept the results and work with Democrats as the party gains control of both chambers and flips several Republican seats.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's Republican Party lost its majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, marking a significant setback midway through his second term.
- Throughout October, Trump toured red states, encouraging supporters to "pretend I'm on the ballot," yet the strategy failed to prevent Democratic gains in Texas, South Carolina, and Georgia.
- Trump blamed hand-selected candidates including Darline Graham in South Carolina and Ken Paxton in Texas for the losses, insisting the results were not "a hit on me" despite Democratic victories.
- Posting a red MAGA cap bearing "VETO" on social media, Trump signaled a fight against the incoming Congress, yet told The New York Times he is "absolutely willing to accept those results" and work with Democrats.
- Democratic control of both chambers grants them oversight powers to investigate the administration and block Trump's nominees, potentially rendering him a "lame duck" reliant on executive orders for his final two years.
