Trump retreats as election losses deepen and aides fear a purge
Donald Trump stayed in the White House residence as election results pointed to a major Republican defeat, while a watch party in the East Room dwindled and aides left the building. The account portrays Trump as angry and withdrawn, and describes growing concern among officials that senior figures could be blamed or removed.
Trump criticised Fox News and Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Truth Social, despite having praised Abbott earlier. Officials cited the Iran war, which the article says has cost at least $47 billion, alongside petrol at $4.15 a gallon and public opposition to the conflict; some expected Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to face blame. The article also reports that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles had predicted a Republican win, though the supplied text ends before giving further details.
In short
- Trump watched the Republican losses from his private residence.
