The Weekly Podcast: Thumping and Shellacking: Presidents React To Mid-Term Elections

One called it a thumping. Another called it a shellacking. But whatever adjective is used, one thing you can be sure of: When Presidents conduct press conferences after mid-term elections, their reactions are often real, raw, emotional -- and unrehearsed.

With the 2022 mid-term elections approaching, the C-SPAN podcast "The Weekly" starts with the historic 1994 mid-term elections -- when Republicans won both chambers of Congress -- and hears reactions from every president since.



Which president called the mid-term elections a "thumping"? Which president called the mid-term elections a "shellacking"?



And how did President Donald Trump react in 2018 when Nancy Pelosi became House speaker again and Mitch McConnell expanded his Senate majority?
