President Donald Trump reacted to Republicans' midterm election losses by showcasing the new White House ballroom. He invited reporters on Wednesday to listen as he dug into details of that construction project rather than addressing his party's Election Day thumping. Voters expressed concerns about Trump's and his ability to do the job. According to The AP Voter Poll, many voters believe Trump lacks the right focus. Trump did get around to talking about the election, and he tried to deflect blame for the election results, saying Republicans would have won if he'd been on the ballot. Trump has a history of passing the buck, especially when there are ballot-box failures.
