Trump says he will accept US election results and work with Democrats

President Donald Trump said Tuesday night he will accept the results of the US midterm elections and is willing to work with Democrats, as the opposition advanced toward controlling Congress. In a New York Times interview, Trump said he is "absolutely willing to accept these results" and looks forward to negotiating with Democrats, likely reaching agreements. He attributed Republican losses to his absence from the ballot and expressed no regret over backing defeated candidates like Senator Darline Graham. Trump spoke while watching vote counts at the White House, noting Graham's loss and suggesting the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who died in July, would have won if he had run.
