Trump says he is "absolutely willing to accept" 2026 midterm election outcome

President Donald Trump said Tuesday, Nov. 3, that he would accept the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections, according to the Deccan Herald. His statement came as Democrats were projected to win control of both the House and Senate. In a New York Times interview, Trump said he would work with Democrats if they took Congress. He blamed Republican losses on his not being on the ballot and said he did not regret backing South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, both of whom lost Senate races. In a CBS News interview, he also emphasized his veto power. Democratic control could shape the rest of Trump’s presidency, with possible investigations and delays to his agenda.
