Democrats 'shouldn't waste time investigating' Trump if they win the House, Sarah Huckabee Sanders says
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is acknowledging that Democrats might win back the House. And she has some advice for them if they do.
In a Tuesday night Fox News interview, said she thinks "America wants to see" a blue House focus on legislation instead of "wast[ing] time investigating" President Trump. After all, the president "would love to work with them on" some legislation, Sanders told Fox News. She later told reporters Trump's agenda wouldn't change based on Tuesday's results.
Trump has been watching the midterm results from the White House residence, Sanders said earlier. And so far, Sanders says it's been "a good night for the president," despite Fox News already projecting Democrats will retake the House.
