Trump Credits Democrats After GOP Loses Senate, Blames Republican Candidates
Republicans lost the Senate, and President Donald Trump is pointing the finger at his own party's candidates. In remarks after the defeat, Trump said Democrats "did a good job" while faulting GOP hopefuls for the losses, according to the Associated Press.
Republicans are out of power in the Senate, and President Donald Trump isn't aiming his frustration at the other party. After the GOP lost the chamber, Trump said Democrats "did a good job" — then turned his fire on Republican candidates, according to the Associated Press.
The remark flips the usual post-election script. Instead of blaming the opposing party for the defeat, the president credited it and aimed his criticism at his own side's standard-bearers.
Losing the Senate puts Democrats in control of the chamber, which reshapes the confirmation and legislative agenda in Washington.
The AP report did not detail which races flipped, the size of the Democratic gains or when Trump made the comments. What it does make clear is the outcome — Republicans lost the Senate — and the president's read on who deserves the blame.
