President Trump on Monday weighed in on the 2018 elections and offered a prediction for how he thought the Republican Party will fare.
The president said he knew Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore and Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie, both Republicans, would lose their respective races.
“Remember, Republicans are 5-0 in Congressional Races this year. The media refuses to mention this. I said Gillespie and Moore would lose (for very different reasons), and they did,” Trump tweeted. “I also predicted “I” would win. Republicans will do well in 2018, very well!”

Trump only got behind Moore at the last minute, initially endorsing Republican Luther Strange in the GOP primary. This is not the first time he said he knew Moore would lose.
