During a gathering of House Republicans in Washington, D.C., President-elect Donald Trump expressed optimism about the GOP's chances in traditionally liberal states like California and New York in the upcoming election. Trump also hinted at the possibility of running for a fourth term, contingent on the support of the party.
Reflecting on the recent election results, Trump highlighted the historic numbers achieved by the Republicans, particularly in the House. He credited their success to the collaborative efforts of the party members and emphasized the importance of winning for the GOP.
As lawmakers reconvened in Washington for a lame duck session, Republicans are set to maintain their majority in the House and have secured control of the Senate. This victory positions them favorably to advance conservative legislation in the next term.
Trump underscored the significance of the Republican triumph, noting that the party defied expectations by winning in all seven swing states by significant margins. He pointed out that even states like New Jersey, which were previously considered challenging for Republicans, are now within reach for the party.
Looking ahead, Trump expressed confidence that with continued momentum, the GOP could potentially secure victories in states like New York, New Jersey, and even California. He emphasized the need for sustained effort and unity within the party to capitalize on the opportunities presented in the next election.
