US President Donald Trump addressed Republican lawmakers at the White House on Wednesday (November 4), reflecting on elections held in New York, Virginia, and New Jersey, the previous night, which he said had not been favorable for his party.

“The elections weren’t good for Republicans,” Trump said, attributing part of the outcome to the ongoing government shutdown.

He suggested that Democratic actions during the shutdown contributed to the GOP setbacks.

Democrats labeled ‘Kamikaze’ over shutdown

Trump compared Democratic lawmakers to kamikaze pilots, claiming they would go to extreme lengths even at the expense of the country.

“I just got back from Japan,” he said. “I talked about the kamikaze pilots. I think these guys are kamikaze. They’ll take down the country if they have to.”
