After a wave of stinging results in several state contests -- in an election considered a referendum on him and Republicans -- President Donald Trump tried to dismiss the bad news in a flurry of social media posts late Tuesday night.

“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to Pollsters," he posted, but not naming the pollsters.

Later, he again called for getting rid of mail-in ballots and eliminating the filibuster, which he says would allow Senate Republicans to end the 35-day government shutdown.

"Pass Voter Reform, Voter ID, No Mail-In Ballots. Save our Supreme Court from “Packing,” No Two State addition, etc. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!!!," Trump said in his post on his social media platform.
