If I had been a candidate, the situation would have been completely different": this is how Trump treated the defeat of the Republican Party in the midterm elections in an interview with CBS News.
“You have seen my level of popularity and love. There was real love at the rallies," the American leader said, adding that he failed to convey that support to the candidates he endorsed.
Among the reasons for the Republican defeat, Trump cited American dissatisfaction with the war and the rise in gasoline prices.
At the same time, the US president suggested that many voters simply did not turn out to vote, and some did not like the candidates themselves.
