President Trump will begin to look ahead to 2020 now that themidterm elections are behind him. Despite Democrats taking control of the House, the president took to Twitter Wednesday morning to tout his party's "Big Victory" and say that he received congratulations from "foreign nations (friends) that were waiting me out, and hoping, on Trade Deals."
President Trump described himself as ecstatic as he watched the election results Tuesday night, perhaps because at least 42 of the candidates Mr. Trump endorsed won Tuesday, reports CBS News' Major Garrett. The president had focused his campaign efforts on ensuring Republicans maintained their majority in the Senate, and his work paid off.
Even so, Republicans lost control of the House, which means investigations and resistance to the Trump agenda is coming. The Democratic majority in 2019 will be relatively small though, putting an emphasis on Democratic unity at time when the party is fighting over a centrist or progressive identity.
Senate Republicans won in tight races in Missouri, Indiana, Texas, North Dakota, and Tennessee, all states where the president campaigned to support these candidates.
