US President Donald Trump is calling out Republican candidates who apparently did not support him enough and lost congressional seats in Tuesday’s elections.
At a news conference in the White House East Room, Trump crows that Republicans held control of the Senate and then took aim at members of the House, where the GOP lost.
Rep. Mike Coffman in Colorado blames his loss on resentment toward Trump in his Denver-area district. The president responds: “Too bad, Mike.”
As for Utah Rep. Mia Love’s loss Tuesday, Trump says: “Mia Love gave me no love, and she lost,” adding, “Sorry about that, Mia.”
Trump says his vigorous campaigning stopped a so-called “blue wave,” ”if there ever was such a thing.”
The GOP is expected to add to its Senate edge, but Democrats regained control of the House.
