what did trump say about election

Direct answer: President Donald Trump has been commenting on election results from November 2025, arguing that Democrats swept key races and blaming Republicans’ poor showing on factors he says include his absence from the ballot and the ongoing government shutdown. He has urged changes such as eliminating the filibuster and pursuing voter reform (including voter ID and limiting mail-in ballots), and he has framed the results as a referendum related to his leadership and the shutdown. These remarks were shared across his Truth Social posts and were reiterated in remarks to GOP lawmakers in the immediate aftermath of Election Day 2025.
