POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C., USA — As Tuesday night’s midterm results poured in, Republicans endured a series of sharp setbacks. In response, former president Donald Trump took to Truth Social to assert that his absence from the ballot cost the party a victory.
Earlier in the campaign, Trump repeatedly urged his base to pretend I’m on the ballot, encouraging supporters to act as if he were a candidate despite not filing.
When the night’s tallies confirmed the GOP’s losses, Trump posted, “I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!” The statement underscores his belief that his personal presence on the ticket would have flipped the outcome.
