  "account": "United States President Donald Trump has expressed his willingness to accept the results of the midterm elections and work with the Democratic Party, which is expected to gain control of both chambers of Congress. During a phone interview with The New York Times on Tuesday night, Trump was seen watching the election results at the White House. He stated, \"We’ll, you know, look forward to working with them. We’ll probably work something out.\" Trump attributed the Republican Party's losses to his absence from the ballot, claiming his presence could have changed the outcome. The President also defended his decision to initiate a war against Iran, calling it a \"very wise decision.\" PUNCH Online reported earlier that Democrats were on course to retake the House of Representatives and gain Senate seats, with Republican candidates like Senator Darline Graham of South Carolina and Texas Attorney-General Ken Paxton facing losses.",
