Trump Admits Deportation Policy May Have Cost Republicans Votes

usnews.com —

President Donald Trump said in a post-midterm interview that his administration's deportation policy was "too tough" and may have contributed to Republican losses, while expressing openness to an immigration deal with the incoming Democratic majority. Trump told CBS's "60 Minutes" he could work with Democrats on immigration, though he offered no specifics. Shortly after taping, he named hard-line immigration architect Stephen Miller as chief of staff, drawing criticism from Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. The crackdown included major operations that killed two U.S. citizens during protests. Trump also hinted at staying neutral in the 2028 Republican race and dismissed questions about his wealth increasing by $3 billion while in office.
