Trump privately infuriated over midterm election results, source says
CBSN
A senior source close to former President Donald Trump told CBS News that the former president has been privately infuriated over the results of the midterm elections, despite his posts on social media touting them as a win and a "great evening."
According to the source, the former president has been "blaming everyone except himself" over the results, including his aides and Fox News host Sean Hannity. The person said Tuesday night's better-than-expected results for Democrats were mainly due to the elections becoming "a referendum" on Trump, his candidate picks, and his continued focus on relitigating the 2020 election.
As of Wednesday, CBS News estimated the Senate is a toss-up, with four contests yet to be called. Two of those contests were toss-ups, and one of those, Georgia, will go to a runoff in December. The race in Arizona, meanwhile, is leaning Democratic. Alaska used ranked-choice voting and results could take a while, although the two leading candidates are Republicans.
