Trump Reacts to Midterm Results: ‘I Wasn’t on the Ballot’

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from NBC News · North America

President Donald Trump has had a lot to say online and on the airwaves about the outcome of the midterm elections, including that he doesn’t view the results as a hit on him. “I don't like to consider it a defeat for me, I wasn’t on the ballot,” he said. NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez reports and Hallie Jackson and Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker join TODAY with analysis.
