TRUMP PROJECTS REPUBLICAN DEFEAT AS AMERICA SETBACK ?

What happened: US President Donald Trump called the midterm results a major setback after his Republican Party lost control of Congress, and criticised the stock market in a Truth Social post. Key numbers: Trump claimed the stock market suffered a one day loss of nearly USD 3 trillion. Democrats gained control of both chambers of Congress. Why it matters: The power shift could make it harder for the President to secure support for his legislative proposals and advance his policy agenda, and gives Democrats greater influence over legislation, spending and investigations.
