President Trump appeared unmoved in the days after Republicans suffered what the New York Times described as massive midterm election defeats, according to a New York Times video report on Trump's reaction.
The New York Times reported that its White House correspondent, Maggie Haberman, explains how Trump's public demeanor compares with what he has shared behind closed doors about voters' frustration with some of his policies.
The New York Times credited the video to Maggie Haberman, John Pappas, Nour Idriss, Léo Hamelin and Nikolay Nikolov.
The Hill reported on Wednesday that Caroline Sunshine, a former staffer to Trump, called for White House chief of staff Susie Wiles to resign over the massive losses Republicans saw in the midterm elections. The outlet's report on Sunshine's call for Wiles to resign described the remarks as made on Fox News.
According to The Hill, Sunshine told Fox News's Jesse Watters on “Jesse Watters Primetime” that she was going to say “what a lot of people are saying privately.”
The two reports cover different parts of the period after the midterm results. The New York Times focused on Trump's public response and what he has said privately, while The Hill focused on a former aide's public call for a senior White House official to step down. Ryan Mancini wrote The Hill's report.
Taken together, the two outlets describe the White House's response to the midterm results from different angles, one centered on the president and the other on a former staffer's public statement about the chief of staff.
