US President Donald Trump is facing a very complex political phase in the wake of the Republican Party’s losses in the midterm elections, which resulted in the transfer of control of both chambers of Congress to the Democratic Party, which poses serious challenges to passing the US administration’s legislative and political agenda.
In his first comment on the election results, Trump considered that the absence of his name on the ballot papers prevented his party from achieving a landslide victory, while at the same time expressing his readiness to cooperate with the Democrats during the next stage.
Despite the defeat suffered by his party, Trump stressed that he does not view the results as a personal setback for him, declaring his commitment to using his presidential veto to counter any legislation that Democrats may try to push. He concluded his statements by saying: “We will return bigger and stronger than ever.”
