US President Donald Trump has claimed that Republicans would have won the 2026 midterm elections by a landslide if he had personally contested them. His remarks came as Democrats made significant gains, including regaining control of the Senate and flipping several Republican-held seats. Trump used the argument to distance himself from the party's electoral setbacks, insisting that his presence on the ballot would have changed the outcome. The results reflect voter dissatisfaction over inflation, living costs and government policies. The Democratic gains could significantly restrict Trump's legislative agenda during the remaining two years of his presidency.
