“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” he told the publication. He then allegedly “boasted that he had accomplished so much.” He said, “when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about this extremely controversial comment, and she said (via CNN), “He was saying, ‘We’re doing such a great job, we’re doing everything the American people thought. Maybe we should just keep rolling.’ He was speaking facetiously.”
There’s a lot of thought that Democrats could have a successful night when midterms take place in November. Midterms will take place on November 3.
