My message is: congratulations to the Democrats, and I look forward to working with you for the good of our country

The president emphasized that he was familiar with many representatives of the Democratic Party and hoped to reach agreements with them.

I know many Democrats, I have an absolute veto power, and I am confident that we will be able to agree on everything. I think they will want to work with me. Otherwise, I will simply veto everything, and they do not want that

Trump attributed the Republicans' defeats to his absence from the ballots

The American president also commented on the failures of Republican Party candidates. In his opinion, one of the reasons was his personal absence from the ballots.

I believe that I was not on the ballot, and nothing could be done about it. If I had been running in the election, we would have won

When asked whether he was upset by the election results, the president replied that he had made every effort to support his fellow party members.

I tried to help people get elected, but they were not elected; they could not win. People did not come out to vote as they should have. If I had been on the ballot, they would have come. But they did not come

Trump added that similar situations had occurred repeatedly in American elections.

It should be noted that the vote count is still ongoing.
