Just hours after he put a U.S. Senate seat in the reliably red state of Texas back in play for Democrats by endorsing against four-term incumbent John Cornyn in a primary runoff — leading to a landslide victory for scandal-plagued state Attorney General Ken Paxton — President Donald Trump delivered another a dagger to Republicans when he said, “I don’t care about the midterms” during a televised Cabinet meeting Wednesday.
Trump was in the midst of a meandering monologue at the top of his 12th cabinet meeting since retaking office when he expressed his total lack of interest in the November elections while boasting of supposed successes against Tehran in the war he started and claiming Iran’s hardline government is “very much intent” on striking an agreement to end the mutual blockade that has caused fuel prices to soar and his approval ratings to plummet.
