Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Refuses To Take Blame As Republicans Lose House And Senate
Caption: Trump Refuses To Take Blame As Republicans Lose House And Senate. President Donald Trump has rejected responsibility for Republican losses in the U.S. midterm elections after Democrats secured control of both the House and Senate. Trump told Fox News he did not view the results as a personal setback, claiming his administration had delivered the "greatest two years" in presidential history. “They just didn’t inspire the people to get out and vote,” Trump told Fox News. “And I wasn’t on the ballot. If I was on the ballot, they would have got out”. Several defeated candidates, including Ken Paxton in Texas and Michael Whatley in North Carolina, had received Trump's personal endorsement. Trump also dismissed suggestions that the Iran war and his tariff policies were primarily responsible for the Republican defeats. He defended his decision to launch the war against Iran, telling the Wall Street Journal he had done the right thing and would do it again. Despite losing control of Congress, Trump insisted his political agenda would continue and suggested he could seek compromises with Democrats.
