US President Donald Trump has said he is willing to accept the outcome of the November 3 midterm elections, even as his Republican Party suffered major setbacks, with Democrats securing control of the House of Representatives and making significant gains in key Senate races. Trump also indicated that he was open to working with Democrats following the election, which has changed the balance of power in Washington during the final two years of his presidency. "I am absolutely willing to accept those results," Trump was quoted as saying by The New York Times when asked whether he would accept the election outcome.
The US president also expressed his willingness to engage with Democrats, despite the political differences between the two parties. "We will work with the Democrats, and we will, you know, look forward to working with them. We'll probably work something out." The comments come after Democrats registered a series of victories in congressional and gubernatorial contests, including a projected takeover of the House. The results give the opposition greater control over congressional committees and the legislative agenda, allowing it to scrutinise the administration and challenge Trump's policy proposals.
Trump says Republicans would have won in a 'landslide' In a separate reaction to the election results, Trump claimed that Republicans would have secured a sweeping victory had he himself been on the ballot. "I wasn't on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. The president's remarks came as Republicans faced losses in several closely watched races. Democrats won the Georgia Senate race, with Jon Ossoff defeating Republican Mike Collins, while former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper defeated Trump's preferred candidate to flip a Republican-held Senate seat.
Democrats also secured a major upset in South Carolina, where Annie Andrews defeated Trump-backed Darline Graham, according to media projections. The House victory gives Democrats greater powers to investigate the administration, hold hearings and seek information from government officials. The final Senate outcome, meanwhile, will determine whether Republicans retain control of the upper chamber. Trump's comments signal a willingness to work with the opposition as Democrats prepare to exercise their newly secured House majority.
