Trump blames absence from ballot for Republican losses

di.se (Swedish) —

Democrats appear poised to win control of the US House of Representatives and have taken a lead in Senate races, according to early election results. President Donald Trump attributed the Republican losses to his absence from the ballot. By early Wednesday morning, Democrats had secured 128 of the 218 seats needed for a House majority, compared to 74 for Republicans. Projections from CNN and NBC News predict a power shift in the chamber, though a final winner has not yet been declared. Democrats have also gained ground in the Senate, winning two previously Republican-held states. Trump claimed on Truth Social that he would have achieved a landslide victory if he had been on the ballot.
