(AP) Hours after voters in major races across the country backed Democrats, rebuking his performance, President Donald Trump addressed the election results saying they weren't "good for anybody." Trump was speaking to Republican Senators at a White House breakfast on the one year anniversary of his victory. The president says the government shutdown was a “big factor, negative” for the Republican party in the elections and called on the senators to bring it to the end. “We must get the government open,” Trump said said, during opening remarks at the White House. “It’s time for Republican to do what they have to do,” he said. “Terminate the filibuster." GOP senators have panned that effort, saying the 60-vote threshold ensures the minority party, which is now Democrats, has a say -- something that's important if power shifts in Washington. Trump also took no blame for the Republican losses in Tuesday night's election. "They say that I wasn't on the ballot was the biggest factor. I don't know about that, but I was honored that they said that,” he said.
