Trump says he will accept US midterm results, vows to work with Democrats

US President Donald Trump expressed his willingness to accept the results of the midterm elections and work with Democrats, despite his party's losses that granted control of the Senate to the opposition. In an interview with The New York Times, Trump stated he was prepared to cooperate and hinted at the potential for agreements between the two sides.

He blamed his absence from the ballot for the Republican defeats and defended his decision to go to war with Iran as a "very wise decision." The president also emphasized he had no regrets about endorsing candidates who lost their Senate bids. Following the results, Trump took to Truth Social, vowing to analyze the reasons behind candidates' victories and defeats.

He posted an image of a red cap reading "VETO," reiterating his intention to use presidential veto power to block Democratic legislation if they took control of Congress. Trump claimed his second term had been successful during the interview, even as Democratic victories were announced across the country.
