Trump's take on midterms: 'Epic' win in Senate, 'better than other sitting Presidents' in House
President Trump took to Twitter to defend the Republican party's performance in the midterm election, saying that they had enjoyed an "epic victory" in the Senate, while saying he had done "better than other sitting Presidents" in the House.
"People are not being told that the Republican Party is on track to pick up two seats in the U.S. Senate, and epic victory: 53 to 47," he wrote.
"The Fake News Media only wants to speak of the House, where the Midterm results were better than other sitting Presidents."
