Trump comments on the course of the elections and the results of expectations in favor of the Democrats

US President Donald Trump said he will accept the results of tonight's election, putting an end - for now - to questions about whether he will object to the result.

This came in an interview with the New York Times, where he said: “I am completely prepared to accept those results.”

He added to the newspaper: “We will work with the Democrats, and we look forward to cooperating with them. It is possible that we will reach some consensual formula.”

These statements, which have a somewhat conciliatory tone, indicate that the president may seek to find spaces for accommodation with newly influential Democrats.

But the election results only appeared minutes ago, and it is very possible that Trump's approach will change in the coming days.

CNN's Election Estimates Unit expects the Democrats to win control of the House of Representatives, which is a major victory for the party that will now be able to implement a wide-ranging oversight agenda targeting the Trump administration. This result puts Hakeem Jeffries on track to become the first black Speaker of the House, although he will first have to win the position via a vote under the dome of the House once the new Congress convenes.

Two sources from the Democratic Party believe that the sweeping victories achieved may give the party more than 240 seats in the House of Representatives, a number that was considered unimaginable only a few weeks ago. This comes as they achieve victories in electoral districts that are considered strongholds of the Republican Party, where Trump previously won by a margin of more than ten percentage points, while Democrats who are threatened with losing their seats succeed in maintaining their positions. One of these two Democratic sources believes it is possible to reach a number of approximately 250 seats.
