Trump vows Republican comeback after midterm defeat

President Donald Trump called the Republican midterm election defeat a "giant step back in history" and vowed a stronger comeback, blaming the results for a $3 trillion stock market loss. Democrats won control of both the House and Senate, ending Republican congressional dominance. Trump initially distanced himself from the loss, claiming he would have won in a landslide if he had been on the ballot. The Democratic victory grants opposition control over congressional committees, enabling investigations into administration policies and the Iran war. Trump retains veto powers, but faces mounting public dissatisfaction over costs and fuel prices.
