Trump Breaks Silence on Congressional Election 'Catastrophe': U.S. Takes Major Step Backward, Stock Markets Lose $3 Trillion in a Day
President Donald Trump stated that the outcome of the midterm congressional elections represented a significant setback for the United States. He made the remarks on his social media platform, Truth Social.
The voting took place on November 3. American voters elected all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 35 senators. At the same time, gubernatorial elections were held in 36 states and territories, while voters in certain regions also cast ballots for local governing bodies.
Trump wrote: “The result of this election is a major step backward for America. Even the stock market, which soared like a rocket during Trump’s presidency, lost $3 trillion in value within a single day. But don’t be afraid— we will return. And we will come back stronger and larger than ever before.”
Results show that Democrats secured a majority in both chambers of the new Congress. However, the Senate and House will remain under Republican control until January of next year. The new (120th) Congress is scheduled to convene on January 3, 2027.
