As it was becoming clear that Election Day 2025 was a very bad one for Donald Trump’s Republican Party, the president weighed in with his own electoral analysis. He posted a quote Tuesday night that he attributed to unspecified “pollsters” – apparently ones he was watching on Fox News.

Trump allies say the president has fallen short of Americans’ expectations, with one even drawing a parallel to Joe Biden.

Trump's campaign-style speech to business leaders in Miami was designed to tout his economic accomplishments as voters increasingly say his administration is not doing enough.

President Trump is back in Florida after his speech Nov. 5 to the America Business Forum in Miami that previewed themes for his midterm election case.

Democrats dominated the first major Election Day since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, and there are signs that the economy — specifically, Trump’s inability to deliver the economic turnaround he promised last fall — may be a real problem for Trump’s party.

Voters on Tuesday disagreed, telling exit pollsters that Trump was an important reason for turning out in droves for Democratic candidates.

Trump also threw his weight behind Ciattarelli in New Jersey, and while he stopped short of doing the same for Virginia’s Republican candidate, Winsome Earle-Sears, he nonetheless led a tele-rally on her behalf on Monday night.

Roy, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, pointed to Virginia, where Democrat Jay Jones won the attorney general race, despite facing widespread backlash over violent text messages that resurfaced last month. Jones had floated the hypothetical killing of a Republican state House speaker, saying he deserved “bullets to the head.”

He cited outside pollsters who have attributed the GOP losses to the fact that Trump wasn’t on the ballot, depressing turnout among the MAGA base. “I don’t know about that but I was honored that they said that,” he added.
