Story summary

On November 7, 2026, President Donald Trump gave his first post-midterm interview to CBS News's *60 Minutes*, conducted by correspondent Ross Douthat. In this interview, Trump reflected on the significant electoral losses suffered by Republicans, including losing more than 40 House seats and at least seven Senate seats. Despite these defeats, Trump maintained that if he had been running for re-election, the results would have been different due to his strong campaign presence. He attributed part of the loss to voter disapproval over the ongoing war in Iran and rising gas prices, though exit polls suggested that about 63% of midterm voters disapproved of Trump's job performance overall.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
