US President Donald Trump stated in a telephone interview with The New York Times that he is prepared to accept the midterm election results and collaborate with Democrats, who are projected to gain control of both chambers of Congress. During the interview, which took place while he monitored live results at the White House, Trump attributed some of the Republican losses to his absence from the ballot but expressed no regret over endorsing specific candidates who subsequently lost. He also defended his decision to initiate military action against Iran, labeling it a wise choice. The potential Democratic takeover of Congress is expected to increase oversight of the executive branch and hinder the advancement of the President's legislative agenda for the remainder of his term.
