00:00Donald Trump just lost everything. Both houses of Congress gone in a single night.
00:04And this morning, he showed America exactly how he plans to fight back.
00:09The numbers are brutal. Democrats now hold the Senate by at least 54 to 44,
00:14with two races still uncalled. In the House, they gained at least 30 seats.
00:19And the map tells the story. Republicans lost ground in 99% of the roughly 2,100 counties
00:27where most votes had been counted.
00:30Florida Governor Ron DeSantis called it close to an extinction-level event for Republicans.
00:36This was not a close election. It was a wave.
00:40But here's the twist. The morning after his party's worst night in years,
00:45President Trump did not hide. He invited reporters into the White House to show off his new ballroom.
00:50For nearly an hour, he walked them through the construction.
00:54Quote,
00:55For me, it is relaxing. The White House has got to be pristine, he said.
01:00It has got to be perfect.
01:02He turned to the election only briefly. Quote,
01:14And he meant it literally. Hours later, he posted a picture of his trademark red cap with one word on
01:20it.
01:21Veto.
01:22Trump also told the New York Times he would look forward to working with them.
01:26Quote,
01:26We will probably work something out. He said Democrats had reached out about the debt ceiling.
01:33But on impeachment, he was defiant. Quote,
01:36It would destroy the Democrats. He said he was not even a little bit concerned.
01:42What he did admit is the war.
01:44Trump told Fox News the gasoline price cost his party the election, and the gasoline was caused by Iran.
01:50And to the Wall Street Journal, he stood by the decision.
01:54Quote,
01:55I did the right thing. I would have done it again.
01:59His own vice president disagrees.
02:02J.D. Vance wrote online,
02:04The reason we lost is the war.
02:06The president himself said so last night.
02:10Vance went further, daring his party to defend the trade.
02:14Quote,
02:15If you would like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next six years was
02:19worth it, then do so.
02:21The split is now open.
02:23Trump says the war was right.
02:25His heir apparent says the war lost the Senate.
02:29The 2028 race has already begun.
02:33Meanwhile, the Democrats are moving fast.
02:35Senate leader Chuck Schumer vowed his party will end the war in Iran through the power of the purse.
02:42Quote,
02:43We're going to end the war.
02:44We have got some Republicans who have joined us in ending the war.
02:48Schumer called it a generational remake of the Senate.
02:51In the House, Hakeem Jeffries had his own message.
02:54Quote,
02:55We do not work for Donald Trump.
02:57We work for the American people.
02:59And the new Congress has real teeth.
03:02Democrats can investigate the Trump administration,
03:04his family and his allies.
03:06The Senate can block his nominees, including any Supreme Court justice.
03:11Two races are still uncalled.
03:14Alaska and Mississippi could push the Democratic Senate majority to 56 to 44.
03:20Alaska may take more than a week.
03:22Across the world, the result landed hard.
03:25In Tehran, thousands at the annual November 4th rally burned a giant banner of Trump, Vance, and Netanyahu.
03:33Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammed Bagher Galibaf, posted,
03:38Conscience or the cost of living?
03:40Americans said no to war, and we endorse this message.
03:44But Iran's supreme leader dismissed the idea that the vote changes anything in Washington.
03:49And Trump is still president until 2028.
03:53Here's what comes next.
03:55The new Congress is seated in January.
03:57Until then, Republicans still hold the reins, with a must-pass funding bill due in December.
