US President Donald Trump has congratulated Democrats following their victories in the midterm elections but dismissed the results as a rejection of his leadership.
Speaking after the results, Trump acknowledged the Democrats’ performance, saying they had been seeking the victory for 11 years.
“Congratulations to the Democrats. They did a good job. They’ve been looking for this one for 11 years, and they finally got it,” he said.
However, Trump maintained that the outcome was not a setback for him, insisting that his administration had delivered what he described as the greatest two years in the history of the presidency.
“But I don’t view it as a hit on me. I think we’ve done … We’ve had the greatest two years in the history of the presidency,” he added.
