## Summary

Donald Trump said he could go six months without insulting Democrats if that helped him reach agreements with the new Congress, following Democrats’ midterm victories. The remark came in a preview of his first “60 Minutes” interview since they took control of both chambers, but Trump also repeated a mocking nickname for Senator-elect James Talarico during the exchange.

Talarico, who defeated Trump-backed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, has said he would work with the administration on immigration, including border security, while criticising its enforcement tactics and calling for legal pathways to citizenship. Trump also cited South Carolina senator-elect Annie Andrews, who said she was willing to work with him on border security, Medicaid cuts and lowering living costs. The full interview is due to air on Sunday.
