Former President Donald Trump has already started throwing Republicans he endorsed ahead of their midterm losses under the bus, rejecting any blame for the failed "red wave" on Tuesday.

Trump sought to distance himself from Republican Don Bolduc, whom he endorsed in the race against Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., after he was projected to lose. Bolduc endorsed Trump's false 2020 election claims during the Republican primary but tried to downplay his claims about fraud after winning the nomination. Trump ultimately endorsed him after Bolduc floated a baseless claim that people were being "bussed" into New Hampshire to vote during a debate.
