McConnell Says Trump Was 'Extremely Helpful' in Republican Senate Victory

President Donald Trump was extremely helpful in the Republican's effort to hold its majority in the US Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a press briefing on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th November, 2018) President Donald Trump was extremely helpful in the Republican's effort to hold its majority in the US Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a press briefing on Wednesday.

"In looking at the race, I want to thank the President. He was extremely helpful to us in states where he is in excellent shape," McConnell said. "He worked very hard and drew large crowds and I think it clearly had a positive impact on the outcome."

The White House said Trump helped 50 rallies ahead of the midterm congressional election, including 30 in just the past two months.

There are still several US Senate races too close to call, but so far, Republicans have picked up three seats that were held by Democrats heading into Tuesday's election in the states of North Dakota, Missouri and Indiana.
