Trump says GOP lost because he wasn't on ballot, is "willing to accept" results

President Trump said Republicans would have won Tuesday's midterm elections had he been on the ballot. Why it matters: After raging on social media before major races were called, Trump reacted to the results for the first time Tuesday night as a blue wave began to take shape. What they're saying: "I wasn't on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he wrote in a post on Truth Social Tuesday night.
