- Karoline Leavitt said on Fox News on Tuesday evening that she had recently spoken with President Trump.
- Trump remains “cautiously optimistic” about the midterm election results, according to Leavitt’s account of their conversation.
- Trump said he “left it all on the field” while discussing the election, without citing a vote count, margin or specific race.
- Leavitt said Trump’s claim that he “left it all on the field” was “certainly true.”
Why it matters: For Trump and his supporters, Tuesday evening’s Fox News appearance supplied two qualitative claims from one recent conversation: cautious optimism and that he “left it all on the field.” The takeaway for midterm voters is reassurance rather than an electoral forecast, because no vote totals, margins or race-by-race outcomes were provided.
