The Republican midterm elections are a historic setback. The party will come back stronger, writes Trump.
The midterm election results are a “giant step back in US history”.
This is what the US president, Donald Trump, writes in a post on Truth Social.
– But fear not, we will come back, bigger and stronger than ever, he writes.
The Republican Party lost control of both houses of Congress in the midterm elections on Tuesday, with the Democrats capturing the majority in both places.
In addition to the Republicans losing their majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, the party also suffered historic defeats in several states where the party had otherwise held the majority for years.
This applies, among other things, to Texas.
Trump has acknowledged that part of the defeat is probably due to the US war in Iran.
– I would think that it is true to a large extent, because it sent the price of petrol up a little in the short term, it was said in the first public statements after the election.
However, the war has been “worth it” because, according to him, it prevents Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
