U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday mocked Republicans who avoided campaigning with him before congressional elections and who were not elected during their races, referencing a list of candidates by name.

“Those are some of the people who decided for their own reason not to embrace – whether it’s me or what we stand for,” Trump told reporters. “They did very poorly. I’m not sure that I should be happy or sad but I feel just fine about it.”

Donald Trump said of the possible investigation that “they’ve got nothing. You know why? Because there is nothing.” The president also issued a warning to Democrats, saying that “they can play that game but we can play it better.”
