 Despite not being on the ballet during the miderms, so called because they fall in the middle of a President's four-year term, Trump has cast a huge shadow over them. Last night, the former The Apprentice star made a brief speech from his Mar-a-Lago home in which he claimed an overwhelming victory for his endorsed candidates. While usually very talkative at such events inside the large ballroom at his Florida mansion, Trump delivered a short and solitary speech in which he simply said it had been an "interesting evening". He then sat entrenched at a large table along with some of his most trusted advisors as he watched the election results come in on Fox News on a large screen. On his Truth social media platform, he wrote: "174 wins and 9 losses, A GREAT EVENING, and the Fake News Media, together with their partner in crime, the Democrats, are doing everything possible to play it down. Amazing job by some really fantastic candidates!" Trump had expected the mi){kind=link}
Former US President Donald Trump has suffered an embarrassing night that may dent his 2024 Presidency bid – with some Republican strategists putting the blame at his feet
While he’ll never admit it, Donald Trump has suffered a rather humiliating night at the US midterm elections – and it could end any chance he has of returning to the White House. The former US President, who lost out to Joe Biden back in 2020, has been heavily involved in campaigning for the Republican party and has backed a number of candidates.
Americans have been voting to decide who sits in the House of Representatives and the Senate, with the Republicans set to take the former from the Democrats, but the latter remains on a knife-edge. The speculated ‘red wave’ has not materialised but the GOP will now be able to block President Biden, but the biggest loser from the midterms appears to be Trump.
