Trump rails against his party morning after election wins for Democrats

I don't think it was good for Republicans. I don't think it was good. I'm not sure it was good for anybody.

We just saw President Trump on camera for the first time since Democrats had major victories in Tuesday night's elections. And he was clearly frustrated this morning as he was in a room filled with Senate Republicans as the president said it's time for his party to have a talk.

And it's time to have a really good talk. But I thought we'd have a discussion after the press leaves about what last night represented and what we should do about it and also

about the shutdown, how that relates to last night. And he railed against his

party for not yet eliminating the filibuster to bring the government shutdown to an end. As the Senate Majority Leader John Thune was seated seated just a few feet away from the president. He stood at a lectern inside the state dining room here at the White House and called on his party to

eliminate the filibuster today. It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's

terminate the filibuster. It's the only way you can do it. And if you don't terminate the

filibuster, you'll be in bad shape. That is something that John Thune has said he does not believe there are the votes for in the Senate, and that many of those Republican senators who were in that room say they do not feel is the right next step here. However, the president said that he believes if Republicans don't eliminate the filibuster, then Senate Democrats will take the opportunity to do so the next time they're in the majority. The president called on his party to pass several different kinds of legislation, including when it comes to requiring voter ID in elections, and railed against Democrats likening them

to kamikazes and saying that he does not believe just because Tuesday's elections are over that they are going to be willing to end this government shutdown. Mr. President, you sound very frustrated by last night's election. He didn't take shouted questions at the end as he was about to sit in there and have that He didn't take shouted questions at the end as he was about to sit in there and have that talk he said Republicans needed to have.
