""It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms," Trump said."
""when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.""
""You got to win the midterms because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be - I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached," he said."
""the fake news will say, 'He wants the elections canceled. He's a dictator.' They always call me a dictator.""
Donald Trump began his second term with a Republican congressional majority positioned to advance his agenda. With midterms approaching, he expressed growing concern about Republican prospects to retain the House and Senate and observed that governing parties often lose midterm seats. He claimed his administration's accomplishments were so extensive that elections might be unnecessary and framed the comment as a joke. The White House press secretary described the remark as joking. Trump warned Republicans that losing the House could prompt Democrats to pursue impeachment and has previously mused about flouting election law.
