Trump considers the results of the midterm elections a bit disappointing

The Former US President Donald Trump described the results of the midterm elections as a bit disappointing, but indicated that he saw it as a personal success, nonetheless.

On Wednesday, Trump wrote on the “Truth Social” platform, which he co-founded, that the majority of the candidates he supported won the elections.

Trump added: “While yesterday’s election was a bit disappointing, in some ways, in my personal opinion it is a very big victory, 219 wins and 16 defeats overall, who has done better than that before?”

Candidates close to Trump have lost in frantic races, or trailed the Democrats, while the vote counting continue.

It wasn’t clear whether the Republicans would be able to regain control of the House and Senate.

Trump suffered a particularly crushing defeat in Pennsylvania, where his supporter Mehmet Oz lost the race for the Senate seat.

In turn, US President Joe Biden praised Tuesday’s midterm elections in the United States, describing it as a “good day for democracy” after his camp succeeded in limiting the damage, although expectations were that the Republicans were ahead of the Democrats in the House of Representatives.

“There was an election yesterday,” Biden said at a news conference… I think it was a good day for democracy and a good day for the United States”.

“While the press and experts expected a red wave, this didn’t happen,” he added, referring to the color adopted by the Republican Party.

The balance of power in the US Congress hinges on the results of a few frantic races, while Republicans seem poised to win at least one House, despite overall disappointing results in the midterm elections.

The elections will determine the decision-making party in Congress and what President Joe Biden, a Democrat, can do politically during the two years leading up to the presidential elections scheduled for 2024, in which he is expected to compete with former Republican President Donald Trump.

The picture of Tuesday’s elections becomes clear as the results were announced in races that witnessed fierce competition.

Democrats currently control the House and Senate.

By Wednesday, it became clear that three states – Arizona, Georgia and Nevada – would decide which party would control the Senate.

This year saw competition for 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate.

Each party in the current Senate has 50 seats, and Vice President Kamala Harris can cast a decisive vote for the Democrats.

There is still the possibility that Democrats led by Biden will challenge the historic odds of the midterm elections, which usually tilt the party out of power, and continue to dominate the Senate.

And the US media reported this afternoon that the Democrats won 48 seats in the Senate, compared to 49 for the Republicans.
