Trump tweets about ‘tremendous success’ in US midterm elections

Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - US President Donald Trump tweeted on Wednesday that the midterms election night had been a "tremendous success".

His tweet was posted as Democrats were poised to seize the House majority from President Donald Trump's Republican Party on Tuesday in a suburban revolt that threatened what's left of the president's governing agenda.

But the Republicans gained ground in the Senate and preserved key governorships, beating back a "blue wave" that never fully materialized.

The mixed verdict in the first nationwide election of Trump's young presidency underscored the limits of his hardline immigration rhetoric in America's evolving political landscape, where college-educated voters in the nation's suburbs rejected his warnings of a migrant "invasion" while blue-collar voters and rural America embraced them.
