Trump frames midterms as 'tremendous success' despite losses
WASHINGTON (AP) — Resigned to losing his party's grip on the House, President Donald Trump congratulated the House Democratic leader on Tuesday night and chose to celebrate "tremendous success" for Republicans in maintaining the Senate.
Trump called Rep. Nancy Pelosi and noted her pitch for bipartisanship in her remarks, her office tweeted. The president, in an earlier tweet, weighed in on the midterm results, overlooking the Democratic pickups in the House and writing: "Tremendous success tonight. Thank you to all!"
With results still coming in, Democrats were on track to gain control of the House, while Republicans kept their Senate majority.
