- Democrats won the U.S. House in Tuesday’s midterm elections, the result Trump publicly congratulated them on.
- Trump, speaking in a CBS News call, said he “wasn’t on the ballot” and looked forward to working with Democrats “for the good of our country.”
Why it matters: For Democrats, Tuesday’s election brought control of the U.S. House, while Trump acknowledged the result and said he looked forward to working with them. That gives the winning party and the president a stated basis for cooperation, even as other headlines frame the outcome as voters rebuking Trump.
