The president told construction workers and reporters that the venue has the “most beautiful marble”

Trump turned his attention to his White House ballroom after Democrats seized control of Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

His party just suffered a drubbing unseen in decades. But the president, leading a tour of his ballroom project, was placid and eager to wax on about construction instead.

In his first public appearance since Republicans racked up major losses in the midterm elections, President Donald Trump boasted Wednesday about the White House ballroom under construction and largely skirted talk about his party’s performance.

President Donald Trump praised Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Nov. 4, a day after acknowledging that the Iran war played a role in the Republican Party’s midterm defeat. When asked if he was considering replacing Hegseth, Trump replied: “No, I think he’s doing a very good job.”

It took a single sentence in a routine campaign speech for Jon Ossoff to ignite a political firestorm that dominated the international news cycle and incited the wrath of the White House.

US President Donald Trump was coming to terms on Wednesday with the prospect of two years of political impotence, after the Democrats won control of both houses of Congress in the midterm elections.

President Trump is planning to deliver a midterms closing message while promoting his restoration projects across the nation’s capital during a speech Monday at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, according to a senior White House official.
