Trump loses Congress, spokesman reminds public he's still president
President Donald Trump suffered a major defeat in the midterm elections, losing control of Congress to Democrats, prompting his spokesman to publicly remind the public that Trump remains president for two more years. Democrats secured key Senate victories in states including Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, Kansas, and Ohio, giving them control of Congress. Trump admitted to Fox News that Democrats "did a good job" and fought hard, while his spokesman's post on X was met with widespread mockery labeling Trump a lame duck. Trump blamed the Republican loss on his absence from the ballot, despite urging supporters to vote for GOP candidates. He expressed willingness to work with Democrats on some issues but vowed to veto legislation on immigration and transgender policies, citing presidential veto power.
