在几个州的比赛中出现一波令人刺痛的结果后-在一场被认为是对他和共和党人进行公投的选举中-唐纳德·特朗普总统试图打消这个坏消息。
“特朗普不在选票上，关闭是共和党今晚输掉选举的两个原因，”根据民意调查者的说法，“他发帖，但没有指名民意调查者。
后来，他再次呼吁取消邮寄选票，消除阻挠议事，他说这将使参议院共和党人结束35天的政府关闭。
“通过选民改革，选民身份证，没有邮寄选票。拯救我们的最高法院从“包装”，没有两个国家增加，等等。终止阻挠议事!!!”，特朗普在其社交媒体平台上的帖子中说道。
特朗普周三上午在白宫接待参议院共和党人时重申了这些观点，他再次淡化了损失，但承认这对共和党人不利。
“昨晚，是这样的，你们知道，不知道预期的存在;成为一场胜利。这非常民主区域但是I不我认为这对共和党人有好处。I不觉得很好，我是不确定它是否适合任何人，”他对聚集在一起吃早餐的议员们说。
“但我想我们应该在媒体离开后讨论一下关于;在…各处 ;大约昨晚代表了什么，我们应该做些什么，还有关于关闭以及它与昨晚的关系。我想如果你看了民意测验，关闭是一个重要的因素，对共和党来说是负面的，”他说。
当Zohran Mamdani在被预测为纽约市市长竞选的获胜者后发表了热情洋溢的胜利演讲时，特朗普在社交媒体上发布:“……就这样开始了!”
本周早些时候，特朗普威胁说，如果马姆达尼获胜，他将削减对纽约市的联邦资金。
特朗普周三下午在迈阿密的一个商业领袖论坛上发表讲话，再次暗示将在纽约市选举结果出来后采取行动。
“2024年11月5日，美国人民收回了我们的政府。我们恢复了主权。昨晚我们在纽约失去了一点主权。但我们会处理好的，”他说。
特朗普说，“迈阿密很快将成为纽约市逃离共产主义的人的避难所。”特朗普一再称民主社会主义者马姆达尼为“共产主义者”。
“在昨晚的结果之后，所有美国人面临的决定不可能是更清楚。我们可以在共产主义和常识之间做出选择。...只要我在白宫，美国就不会以任何方式走向共产主义。我们会阻止它。我们要阻止它。停止这种胡说八道，”他说。
Trump says choice is between 'communism or common sense' after Tuesday's elections
After a wave of stinging results in several state contests -- in an election considered a referendum on him and Republicans -- President Donald Trump has tried to dismiss the bad news.
“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to Pollsters," he posted, but not naming the pollsters.
Later, he again called for getting rid of mail-in ballots and eliminating the filibuster, which he says would allow Senate Republicans to end the 35-day government shutdown.
"Pass Voter Reform, Voter ID, No Mail-In Ballots. Save our Supreme Court from “Packing,” No Two State addition, etc. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!!," Trump said in his post on his social media platform.
Trump reiterated those points on Wednesday morning as he hosted Senate Republicans at the White House, where again downplayed the losses but admitted it was bad for Republicans.
"Last night, it was,youknow, notexpectedto bea victory. It was very DemocratareasbutIdon'tthink it was good for Republicans.Idon’tthink it was good,I'mnot sure it was good foranybody," he told lawmakers gathered for breakfast.
"But I thought we'd have a discussion after the press leavesaboutwhat last night represented and what we should do about it, and also about the shutdown and how that relates to last night.I think if you read the pollsters,the shutdown wasa big factor,negative, for the Republicans," he said.
As Zohran Mamdani delivered a passionate victory speech after being projected winner in the New York City mayor's race, Trump posted on social media: "…AND SO IT BEGINS!"
Earlier this week, Trump threatened to slash federal funding to New York City if Mamdani won.
Trump, speaking at a business leaders forum in Miami on Wednesday afternoon, again suggested action would be coming after the results of New York City's elections.
"On November 5, 2024, the American people reclaimed our government. We restored our sovereignty. We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York. But we'll take care of it," he said.
Trump said that "Miami will soon be the refuge for those fleeing communism in New York City." Trump has repeatedly called Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, a "communist."
"After last night's results, the decision facing all Americans could not bemore clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense.... As long as I'm in the White House, the United States is not going communist in any way, shape or form. We'll stop it. We're going to stop it. Stop this nonsense," he said.
