President Trump says Republican voters are unhappy with congressional Republicans ahead of upcoming midterms, but not with him. In an interview aired early Friday and reported by multiple outlets, Trump acknowledges that GOP voters are “angry,” describing their dissatisfaction as directed at the party’s congressional leadership rather than at his presidency. According to the reported exchange, Trump says the anger is focused on Republicans in Congress and that voters are not angry with him personally for his role as president.
The accounts describe Trump making the remarks in an interview published early Friday, responding to questions about the political climate within the Republican base. While he acknowledges voter frustration in the lead-up to the midterms, he frames it as a problem for congressional Republicans rather than for the White House. The reporting reflects consistent messaging across sources, with Trump differentiating between criticism aimed at congressional colleagues and his own position.
