Trump Makes Surprise C-SPAN Call After Midterm Losses
Trump discussed immigration, Iran and Pete Hegseth as viewers speculated an unidentified woman laughing on the line was aide Natalie Harp.
- President Donald Trump made a surprise call to C-SPAN's Washington Journal Primetime on Monday night, speaking with host Mimi Geerges for eight minutes during the program's debut.
- Democrats won control of the House and Senate last week, prompting Trump's recent series of public appearances. He visited the East Wing ballroom on November 4 and appeared in the Brady Press Briefing Room with UFC CEO Dana White on Monday, his first briefing room visit in 198 days.
- Trump addressed immigration, efforts to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the Iran war during the call. He told Geerges he watches C-SPAN call-ins to gauge public sentiment and praised the "great Republicans" who participate.
- An unidentified woman could be heard laughing in the background as Geerges announced the call. Newsweek contacted the White House about the audio, though neither Trump nor the host addressed the laughter or his location during the interview.
- Critics on social media suggested the call indicates political desperation following the election losses. Trump has long favored direct telephone contact with media, frequently using such appearances to pitch stories and react to live coverage.
