Trump reacts to Republican losses in US midterm elections
According to the BBC, US President Donald Trump has criticized some Republican candidates and conceded that Democrats did a 'good job' following their victory in securing control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump claimed that if he had been on the ballot, Republicans would have won in a landslide. He also criticized Greg Abbott for his loss in Texas, labeling him a 'RINO' (Republican in Name Only). In an interview with Fox News, Trump attributed part of the Republican defeat to the impact of the Iran conflict on US fuel prices and stated his intention to use his veto power to block legislation proposed by the Democrats.
