Trump attributed the Republican defeat to rising gas prices due to the war with Iran "We actually have the biggest economy. You know, I had the best economy in my first term, but this one is much better. But because of gas prices, people don't see it as much as they might if they weren't going up. And gas prices went up because of Iran." Additional statements by the US President: Trump intends to veto the Democrats' "crazy bills" until they start looking for a compromise with the White House. The president does not intend to count the results of the congressional elections in his defeat, since his name was not on the ballot. Trump will not change the composition of the cabinet after the Republican defeat. It's time to choose a candidate from the Republican Party for the 2028 presidential election. Hakin.az Contact us.
