US President Donald Trump, faced with sweeping Democratic victories in midterm elections, says his Republican Party would have won in a “landslide” if he had been running.

“I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump writes in a post on his Truth Social platform.
