Trump rejects blame for Republican losses, says candidates failed to inspire voters

United States President Donald Trump has attributed Republican losses in the midterm elections to the performance of individual candidates, rejecting the notion that his leadership and policies were to blame. Speaking to Fox News, Trump claimed that his administration had achieved significant economic success and that the losses were primarily due to the candidates themselves failing to motivate voters.

He acknowledged that the media coverage of Democratic candidates, particularly on Fox News, may have played a role in their favor. Despite the Democrats' gain of control over both the House of Representatives and the Senate, Trump stated that he would continue to pursue his policy agenda, emphasizing that if he had been on the ballot, voters would have turned out.

The President also expressed willingness to work with the Democratic majority in Congress, although he has not explicitly ruled out a potential political rivalry.
