The White House's mood is "defiant" as results are coming in, a White House official told ABC News.
After weeks of President Donald Trump urging voters to pretend like he is on the ballot this election, the White House official is now highlighting that Trump wasn't actually on the ballot.
"President Trump was not on the ballot, and it's proven that Trump voters show up when he is on the ballot," the official said when asked if they had any response to tonight's results so far.
The official added: "Also, candidate quality matters, and President Trump did a better job promoting many of the candidates on the ballot than the candidates did themselves."
