Donald Trump says if he was on ballot in House midterms "we would have won in landslide"

President Donald Trump responded to projections that Democrats won control of the House in Tuesday’s midterm elections by asserting on Truth Social that his own candidacy would have produced a much different Republican result. Decision Desk HQ projected the Democratic win, ending four years of GOP House control and creating divided government when the new Congress convenes in January. The outcome is expected to complicate Trump’s legislative priorities, including federal spending, immigration enforcement, tariffs and military operations involving Iran, according to the report. Media outlets also reported that Democrats are preparing broader executive-branch oversight, potentially including the Epstein case, deportation-related violence allegations and Trump family finances. Trump has said he would use vetoes to counter Democratic legislation; overriding them requires two-thirds majorities in both chambers, making bipartisan support necessary.
