US President Donald Trump said late Tuesday that he would accept the results of the midterm elections and was ready to work with Democrats, who appeared poised to take control of both chambers of Congress, Anadolu Agency reported, citing The New York Times.
“I am absolutely willing to accept those results,” Trump told the newspaper in a phone interview as he watched election returns at the White House.
“We’ll work with the Democrats, and we’ll, you know, look forward to working with them. We’ll probably work something out,” he added.
Republicans faced significant setbacks in several closely watched races, while Democrats made gains that could change the balance of power in Washington and complicate Trump’s legislative agenda for the rest of his term.
Trump partly blamed Republican losses on his absence from the ballot, saying the party’s performance might have been different had he been running in the elections himself.
