Asked what he wants to work on with a Democratic majority, President Donald Trump names immigration. The answer leads to a more pointed question: did his administration's crackdowns hurt Republicans in the midterms?

In the CBS 60 Minutes exchange posted by CNN, Trump says the policy both helped and hurt. He gives himself high marks for closing the border, but acknowledges criticism over deporting people who had jobs and whose only infraction, as he describes it, was entering illegally.

Then the interviewer asks whether deportation policy went too far.

"I think it was too tough. It was too tough. I think it might be too tough, yeah," Trump replies. He adds: "I think ultimately that hurt me."

CNN's Short drew roughly 1.5 million views in its first day, about twenty times its usual start for the format. The excerpt ends with Trump describing an immigration agreement with Democrats as "actually doable," without laying out specific terms.

The network also drew an unusually fast audience for "Trump changes tune on election results," reporting that he had begun questioning the midterm outcome after previously saying he would accept it.
