White House statement amid vote counting

The White House issued a statement addressing the results of the midterm elections at a time when vote counting for the House of Representatives and the Senate was still ongoing. The text of the statement is cited by Kun.uz with reference to the official release. It claims that 'the radical left, fake news media, and hardcore panic artists have been wrong every time they predicted the political death of President Trump,' and that they 'will be wrong again this time.' According to the administration, during the last two years of the presidential term, Democrats will try to reverse Trump's achievements but will fail, because 'the American people have already rejected their agenda.' Among the listed achievements are border security, the end of the DEI program (diversity, equity, and inclusion), energy independence, and the protection of children.

Expected steps by the Democrats

The administration's message also lists measures that, in the White House's view, Democrats will begin implementing after winning the midterm elections to Congress. The list includes 'reopening the border,' 'weakening law enforcement,' 'raising taxes,' 'filling the country with illegal migrants,' restoring the environmental agenda, the United States abandoning 'energy dominance,' allowing gender-transition surgeries for minors, 'rebuilding the censorship system,' as well as 'yet another impeachment show' and a review of the current president's achievements. The statement warns that attempts at impeachment or reversing the administration's achievements will end in defeat, 'just like the radical left's previous actions,' and that 'President Trump will never stop fighting.' It should be noted that these formulations reflect the White House's position and are not an independent assessment of the election outcome.

What is known about the election results

According to CNN data cited by Kun.uz, the results in the Senate remain uncertain in two states — Alaska and Mississippi, where Democrats hold a slight lead. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has already secured 54 seats in the new Senate, while Republicans currently have 44 seats. In the House of Representatives, the Democrats' advantage is growing: their current leader Hakeem Jeffries announced a plan to share the speaker's post and promised a division of power. Republicans, for their part, have begun searching for those responsible for what the source calls the party's 'crushing defeat.'
