Washington: US President Donald Trump has expressed his willingness to accept the results of the midterm elections following the Republican Party’s defeat and work with Democrats. He said the two parties could reach a consensus on certain issues.

In an interview with The New York Times, Trump said he was fully prepared to accept the election results and would seek ways to cooperate with Democrats. He said he looked forward to working with the opposition and that both sides might reach a compromise.

Explaining the Republican candidates’ defeat, Trump said the party’s performance was affected because his name was not on the ballot. According to him, the results could have been different had he himself been running in the elections.

The US president also defended his decision to support Republican candidates who failed to win Senate seats. He said he had no regrets about backing those candidates.

During the interview, Trump also defended his decision to launch a war against Iran, describing it as a wise move.

Meanwhile, following the election results, Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he would analyse the reasons behind the candidates’ victories and defeats. He also indicated that he might present himself as a political commentator.

Trump also shared a picture of a red cap bearing the word “VETO.” Through this, he reiterated his earlier position that he could exercise his presidential veto if Democrats take steps to pass legislation in Congress.

Despite the Republican candidates’ defeat, Trump expressed satisfaction with the first two years of his second presidential term, saying he had no regrets about his actions.
