'Trump's resolve to FIGHT radical left will only become STRONGER—BUCKLE UP': White House official
Peter Doocy describes a quiet North Lawn and a very different sound beyond the White House grounds: music and cheering as crowds celebrate election updates. Inside his report, the administration's message is defiant.
An unnamed White House official tells Fox News that candidate quality matters, then signals that Democratic control of Congress will not soften Donald Trump's approach. Relaying the official's message, Doocy says: "President Trump's resolve to stop the radical left is only going to become stronger. Buckle up."
That is the remark behind an unusually fast start for Fox News Clips. Its short excerpt from Fox News Democracy 26 drew roughly 333,000 views in 20 hours, far beyond the channel's usual opening for Shorts.
The segment begins with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum announcing gubernatorial projections: Republican victories for Alan Wilson in South Carolina and Mike Mazzei in Oklahoma, and Democratic wins for David Crowley in Wisconsin and Hannah Pingree in Maine. It then shifts from individual state results to the White House's response to a Democratic-controlled Congress.
Other widely watched uploads on the clips channel explore what comes after the result. Larry Kudlow argues that Trump can use executive orders to maintain his economic agenda. In a separate interview, Texas Senator-elect James Talarico rejects retribution and expresses willingness to work with Trump on border security and housing, a different emphasis from the official's "Buckle up" message.
