Election 2026 live results: Dems take back Congress, Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins concedes

President Donald Trump spoke with Politico via phone on Tuesday night following the results of Tuesday's midterm election.

When asked what his message was tonight in the aftermath of the results, Trump said, "I wasn't on the ballot, and we didn't get the people out, but I wasn't on the ballot. If I was on the ballot, we would have won."

Pressed on his comments telling voters to pretend that he was on the ballot, Trump said that voters didn't agree.

"Yeah, I said, 'Say you're on the ballot. Think about me being on the ballot.' But they didn't agree, and they didn't like the candidates in most cases, just one of those things," Trump added.

Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller conceded to Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter, saying in a post on social media that he is "disappointed at this evening's election results."

"I have fought earnestly to continue to represent the interests of my home and community in the Ohio 7th District," the post continued. "We have achieved great things in the last four years and I am disheartened that I cannot continue the good fight. I am very grateful for every one of you that came out and voted for me."

ABC has not yet projected a winner in the race.

Democrat Hannah Pingree, the former Maine House speaker, is projected to win the Maine governor's seat, beating Republican challenger Bobby Charles and third-party candidate Rick Bennett.

Democrat Josh Turek, a state representative, is projected to defeat Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson in the race to fill retiring Republican Sen. Joni Ernst's seat.

This would mark the first time since 2008 that a Democrat has won a U.S. Senate seat in Iowa.
