Warner, projected to win Virginia, criticizes Trump on costs in WAVY interview
WAVY reports that Sen. Mark Warner, projected to win a fourth Senate term in Virginia, told the station on Election Night that President Donald Trump had not lowered costs.
Sen. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat projected to win a fourth U.S. Senate term, told WAVY on Election Night that President Donald Trump had not lowered living costs, according to a recap of an exclusive interview with reporter Andy Fox1.
WAVY said the conversation, recorded as the race was called, also touched on Trump administration policy and the war with Iran; the written account did not quote Warner on those topics1. The station posted the interview from Alexandria1.
Warner said, "I think the people who supported the president did so because he promised he would lower costs. He's done the opposite," according to WAVY1.
WAVY reported that Warner said he expected Democrats to win control of both the House and Senate, while adding that winning would not be enough if costs did not come down1. The written piece did not include a response from Trump or his campaign1.
