Democrats had lavished attention and money on Tuesday's special election, hoping for a victory that would underscore Republican worries about Mr Trump and serve as a harbinger of a Democratic wave in 2018.
President Trump celebrated recent Republican wins in special congressional elections, touted his accomplishments as president, and criticized Democrats and the media. He said, 'you know what? The Republican was expected to win, though the race was closer than anticipated.
