Democratic wins ignite questions about Trump’s midterm coattails - Roll Call

A Democratic romp in Tuesday’s off-year elections is raising new questions about President Donald Trump’s coattails heading into a key midterm election year. 

“On Nov. 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. Don’t worry about it,” Trump quipped Wednesday at a business conference in Miami, referring to the Big Apple’s mayoral race.

He then began boasting about the 2024 election, which delivered much more good news for Trump than Tuesday’s races did in many places, before touting his first nine months back in office. But he acknowledged that “we could have done a little better in terms of candidates.”
