Donald Trump is attempting to deflect responsibility for the Republican party's losses in the recent midterm elections. He claims that the party would have achieved victory if he had been personally on the ballot. However, France 24's Washington correspondent Fraser Jackson asserts that the Democratic "blue wave" that led to their control of Congress is a direct consequence of Trump's past decisions. His influence and choices are seen as the root cause of the party's electoral setback.
