Story summary

In his first post-midterm interview since Democrats secured control of both the House and Senate, President Donald Trump spoke with CBS News' 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat on Friday at the White House. The president conceded that his party suffered significant losses in Tuesday’s elections but suggested he might have fared better had he been on the ballot. He attributed Republican defeats to voter disapproval of the ongoing war with Iran and high gas prices, rather than acknowledging broader policy failures. Trump also hinted at potential changes within his administration, including replacements for some top officials like White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who was replaced by longtime aide Stephen Miller on Saturday morning.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
