Trump Admits Deportation Policy May Have Cost Republicans Midterms

President Donald Trump said in his first post-midterm interview that his administration's deportation policy "might have been too tough" for voters, acknowledging it contributed to Republican losses and expressing openness to an immigration deal with Democrats. Trump told CBS's "60 Minutes" he believes an agreement with the new Democratic majority is "doable," though he offered no specifics. Shortly after taping Friday, he named hard-line immigration architect Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff. The midterms delivered Democrats control of both chambers, with the unpopular Iran war and economic factors also cited as causes. Trump faces combative relations ahead, calling Democratic investigative requests "extortion," while Attorney General Todd Blanche suggested possible criminal probes of Democrats.
