WASHINGTON — The White House says it's not sweating after a string of losses by Republican candidates across the U.S.

The Democratic victories in gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey on Tuesday were "unsurprising," a person familiar with President Donald Trump's political operation said Wednesday.

The person said that "2018 is a long ways away," when asked about the White House's level of fear ahead of next year's midterm elections.

The person familiar with the president's political operation acknowledged that Washington dysfunction played a role in the GOP losses, noting that there is frustration, particularly among pivotal suburban voters, with the "lack of action in Congress."

15. Was "lack of action" in Congress a factor at all?

"The person familiar with the president's political operation acknowledged that Washington dysfunction played a role in the GOP losses, noting that there is frustration, particularly among pivotal suburban voters, with the "lack of action in Congress.""

I didn't see that mentioned in any of the exit polling.
