Unlike in 2022, when an oft-touted red wave never manifested, leftist favor for Marxists, Islamists, and the lot, coupled with their seething Trump Derangement Syndrome, won out in a big way. As early results showed both the House of Representatives and Senate set to turn over GOP control to the Democrats with major upsets in what were considered Trump-backed safe havens, the president prepared to \u201cbecome a Political Pundit, both good and bad,\u201d on the outcome.<\/p>\n

While most had expected the gavel to pass from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to the Democrats, far fewer thought it likely that the Senate would turn blue \u2014 let alone with a cushion. At the time of this post, the Associated Press reported 54 Democrat Senate seats and a 10-seat advantage in the House, on top of gubernatorial losses that included Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Texas.<\/p>\n

In the Senate, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina and Texas were all flipped for the Democrats while Michigan voters opted for Abdul El-Sayed over former Rep. Mike Rogers, leaving their Senate leader Chuck Schumer insisting \u201crelief was on the way.\u201d At the same time, the presumptive nominee for House speakership, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, insisted \u201cAmerica is Back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with Fox News as ballots were still being counted, Trump was asked by anchor Bret Baier how he intended to deal with the loss of GOP control in Congress, to which he brought up the presidential veto.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been done before, as you know, numerous times. It\u2019s the power of the veto. It\u2019s one of the stronger powers that a president has, and they\u2019ll send over things that are insane, and I\u2019ll veto them. And after a couple of months of vetoes, they\u2019ll call, and they\u2019ll say, \u2018How do we get this stuff done?\u2019 and we\u2019ll work together,\u201d he contended. \u201cI have a lot of friends that are Democrats, believe it or not. I\u2019ve already spoken to some of them. I have had \u2026 calls from meaningful Democrats \u2026 they want to talk, but I have the power of veto and the power of veto, you know, it\u2019s impervious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked by anchor Martha MacCallum about the takeaways, the commander-in-chief spoke of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East,\u00a0\u201cI think part of it was Iran, but at the same time people understood the importance of what I have done with Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Democrats did a good job\u201d and \u201cThey fought hard,\u201d the chief executive said of the opposition\u2019s campaigning that included promises of investigations and obstruction. Having suggested his presence on the ballot would have made the difference, Trump was asked about the enthusiasm gap for the base, to which he told Baier, \u201cThey didn\u2019t like the candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the candidates that I endorsed fought me, and they didn\u2019t like me. They fought me. This MAGA base is incredible, the most loyal, the greatest people, the people that built America,\u201d continued the president. \u201cI was trying to get people in that were \u2014 people that, frankly, let\u2019s say, I didn\u2019t get along with. But for purposes of the party, I went along with it, and the base would tell me, hundreds of thousands of people would just say, \u2018Sir, they weren\u2019t for you.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other cases, they just didn\u2019t inspire the people to get out and vote,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Trump also remarked that the outcome \u201chad nothing to do with my cabinet\u201d and he had no plans to seek new members for the time being.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as Democrats reveled in the down-ballot victories and the impact they would have at both the federal and state levels, the president sounded off on a specific race where he\u2019d endorsed early.<\/p>\n

Before expressing on Truth Social, \u201cI\u2019m going to become a Political Pundit, both good and bad, on the reasons these Candidates won and lost!\u201d Trump faulted now-outgoing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for handing over Austin to the left. \u201cIf Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn\u2019t become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn\u2019t have lost. He went back to his original formula, and it wasn\u2019t pretty!\u201d<\/p>\n\n
