The midterm elections this year were a little disappointing, according to former US President Donald Trump, who spoke on Wednesday, but still a huge victory for Republicans.
"While in certain ways yesterday’s election was somewhat disappointing, from my personal standpoint it was a very big victory - 219 WINS and 16 Losses in the General - Who has ever done better than that?" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Although it is predicted that Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives, the Senate remains competitive with three seats up for grabs as both Republicans and Democrats retain 48 seats in the upper house.
