SAEDNEWS: Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that, “According to polls, the two main reasons for the Republicans’ losses in tonight’s elections were his absence from the candidate list and the government shutdown.” His comment came after Democratic victories in several states and cities, including New York.
According to the Politics Desk of Saed News, Donald Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social:
“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT.”
“Trump was not on the list of candidates, and the [government] shutdown were the two main reasons why Republicans lost tonight’s elections.”
He went on to claim that, “according to the polls,” these two factors were decisive — although he did not specify which polls he was referring to in his post.
Reactions to Trump’s remarks were mixed. Some analysts argued that local issues, voter turnout, and economic concerns also played significant roles, noting that attributing the results to just two factors requires clear statistical evidence. Critics further emphasized that the “government shutdown” may have influenced voter sentiment in certain regions.
