Trump has no public events set for Wednesday as Democrats celebrate rout
Trump kept a low profile as Democrats flipped both chambers, leaving him with reduced leverage and a veto power that could still shape legislation.
- Following Tuesday's midterm elections, President Donald Trump had no public events scheduled for Wednesday as Democrats won control of the House and Senate, leaving him a lame duck for his final two years in office.
- Voters rejected Trump's handpicked candidates, airing widespread concerns about high costs following the Iran war and his punishing tariff policy, despite his repeated insistence that voters "pretend I'm on the ballot."
- Trump blamed Fox News for the losses, claiming Republicans would have won "IN A LANDSLIDE" had he been on the ballot, while insisting, "I don't view it as a hit on me."
- Vance blamed the Iran war for Republican losses, distancing himself ahead of a possible 2028 run, while Trump conceded the assessment was "largely true because it drove the gasoline up," signaling early party infighting.
- When the new Congress convenes on January 3, 2027, Democrats will take control of congressional committees, gaining power to conduct investigations and set the legislative agenda for Trump's final two years.
