Trump Blames Midterm Losses on Absence and Iran War

In an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump discussed the factors contributing to the Republican Party's losses in the recent U.S. midterm elections. He stated that his absence from the ballot was a significant reason for the defeat, claiming that had he been on the ballot, the Republicans would have won decisively.

Trump also pointed to the ongoing Iran war, which he initiated, as a factor that affected voter sentiment, particularly regarding rising petrol and diesel prices. He commended the Democrats for their electoral success, stating they did a "good job" and fought hard during the elections.

Trump expressed that he is unlikely to make changes to his cabinet and mentioned that he plans to collaborate with the Democratic Party while retaining "total veto power." He criticized Fox News for providing substantial airtime to Democrats, which he believed influenced Republican voters.
