Republicans just lost control of Congress. President Donald Trump wanted to talk about his ballroom.

Wednesday marked the first time Trump had been seen in public since the votes were counted. He spoke to reporters at the White House construction site where the new room is going up.

He bragged that the space will have ceilings 50 feet high. He also brought up King Charles, saying the monarch wanted room for 350 guests at his State Dinner. The East Room could not handle a crowd that size.

"Most beautiful"

Trump went on to call the 90,000-square-foot building the "most beautiful ballroom in the world."

He covered plenty of other ground too. He touched on a helipad, the Reflecting Pool and why limestone can be a problem as a building material.

On the election itself he had very little to say. He did repeat his belief that the GOP would have won if his own name had been on the ballot. Before the vote he had told supporters to cast their ballots as if he were running.

His approval rating is sitting at 38.3% according to one polling average.

A rough night for the GOP

Democrats rode a historic blue wave to take both the House and the Senate.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has already pinned the blame on Trump and even called him a "cult leader."

Democrats are now hinting at lawsuits and investigations aimed at the administration. Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey joked that Republicans "are going to need to plant new forests for all of the subpoenas we'll be printing."

Voters seemed most worried about how much everyday life costs. The president seemed far more interested in his building plans.
