Trump to candidates who rejected him: 'Say goodbye!'

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Republican winners in Tuesday's midterm elections were successful because they embraced him and his agenda, taunting those losers who distanced themselves from the White House to "say goodbye!"

“Those that worked with me in this incredible Midterm Election, embracing certain policies and principles, did very well,” the president wrote in a tweet. “Those that did not, say goodbye!”

While midterm elections have historically brought congressional losses for party of the sitting president, Trump loomed especially large over Tuesday’s results. Members of both parties, as well as the president himself, painted the midterms as a referendum on Trump. Turnout for Tuesday's election was up sharply relative to past midterm races, which typically have lower voter participation than presidential elections.

Some Republicans feared that Trump’s decision to harp on immigration issues in the closing days of the campaign rather than on a booming economy could alienate swing voters in suburban districts. That fear, at least in part, appears to have been borne out in GOP-held districts across the country, where Republican incumbents in and around urban areas were unseated by Democratic challengers.
