0:24Trump says Republicans would have won if he had personally been running.
0:46Trump broadly accepts Vance's Iran-war explanation but says he would not change his decision.
1:14A posted VETO hat introduces Trump's warning about his powers under a Democratic Congress.
2:51Suzuki reports live from Texas as Talarico's Senate victory is announced.
3:38CNN voter polling places living costs and dissatisfaction with Trump's pricing policies at the center of the result.

Reporter Daijiro Suzuki is at a Texas election gathering when the result arrives: James Talarico has won. The crowd celebrates a Democratic Senate breakthrough in a state long associated with Republican strength.

That scene supplies the turning point in Japan's TV Asahi All-Nippon News Network channel (ANNnewsCH) report for Good! Morning. The broadcast describes Democrats taking both chambers of Congress, ending Republicans' unified control of the presidency, House and Senate. It reports that Texas has elected a Democratic senator for the first time in 38 years.

Talarico, a Texas state legislator, presents the victory as a rejection of wealthy donors' influence. The report places his celebration alongside Elon Musk's substantial financial backing for Republicans, with Talarico telling supporters that money could not overcome Texas voters.

The closing explanation is more domestic than ideological. Citing a CNN voter survey, the report says nearly nine in ten voters considered living costs important to their decision. More than three in five identified Trump's policies as the main cause of rising prices. Those findings provide a contrast to the president's emphasis on the crowds at his rallies.

Asked whether he regrets his campaign's closing stretch, Trump says Republicans would have won had he personally been running. He broadly agrees with Vice President JD Vance's assessment that fighting with Iran contributed to the defeat, acknowledging an effect on gasoline prices, but says he would make the same decision again.

Trump also offers conditional cooperation with Democrats while stressing his veto power. He warns that pursuing impeachment would damage the Democratic Party and maintains that there is no justification for impeaching him. The broadcast juxtaposes that defiance with Suzuki's footage from Texas, where voters are celebrating a changed political map.
