Donald Trump Has All-Caps Reaction To GOP's Disastrous Election Night
HuffPost
The president tried to offer an excuse for the party's trouncing this week.
In an apparent attempt to cope with Republicans’ big losses on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump shared his theory for the trouncing in a Truth Social post.
“‘TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,’ according to Pollsters,” he wrote.
In reality, early exit polls showed that many people saw their vote as sending a message of opposition to Trump, CNN reported. The majority of voters in key contests also overwhelmingly disapproved of Trump’s handling of the presidency in those same surveys.
Republicans lost several major races on Tuesday as Democrat Abigail Spanberger flipped the Virginia governor’s mansion, and Democrat Mikie Sherrill helped the party hold onto the New Jersey governor’s seat.
