The White House spokesperson stated that Donald Trump was joking when he suggested that the midterm elections are not necessary because he "does an excellent job".

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, stated that President Donald Trump was 'just joking' when he suggested that this year's midterm elections are not necessary, as he believes he is 'doing a great job.' This remark was made during an interview with Reuters, where Trump expressed his frustration over the possibility of the Republican Party losing control of the House of Representatives or the Senate.

He mentioned that, historically, the party in power loses seats in the second year of the presidency. His comments sparked criticism from the opposition, which highlighted the importance of the midterm elections scheduled for November 3, deemed crucial for the renewal of Congress and local mandates.
