トランプ氏、選挙結果受け入れる 米紙
トランプ氏は4日、FOXニュースのインタビューで「民主党に祝意を伝えたい。彼らはよくやった」と述べ、敗北を認めた。その上で、移民問題などで民主党と「協力できる」と語り、協調を模索する姿勢を示した。これに対し民主党は、重要法案の通過を阻止し、議会調査権を通じてトランプ政権との対決姿勢を打ち出す構えだ。
CNNテレビによると、民主党は補欠選挙と合わせ35議席が選出対象になった上院(定数100)で東部メーン、南部テキサス、中西部オハイオ、同カンザスなど激戦各州の議席を共和党から奪取。共和党優位とみられていた南部サウスカロライナ州も制した。
民主党は、同党現職が引退した中西部ミシガン州でも競り勝ち、非改選議席34と合わせ54議席を確保した。共和党は非改選議席31と合わせ42議席にとどまっている。
全議席改選の下院(定数435)は米東部時間4日午前2時半(日本時間同日午後4時半)現在、民主党が227議席、共和党は134議席の当選を確実にした。全50州のうち36州で知事選も実施され、テキサス州で共和党のベテラン現職アボット氏が敗れる波乱があった。
