WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., said voters in New Hampshire and across the country delivered what she called a "historic rejection" of President Donald Trump, in a statement her office issued Wednesday after elections that she said produced new majorities in the House and Senate.

"This historic failure of a President just got a historic rejection at the ballot box," Hassan said. "Granite Staters and Americans nationwide are demanding an end to President Trump's costs and corruption, and we now have the opportunity to write the next chapter in our country's history."

Hassan's office said she is expected to chair the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in the new Congress. She said she would use that role to investigate what she described as corruption hurting taxpayers.

"We will investigate and expose the corruption that is hurting taxpayers and Americans," she said.

Hassan said the new congressional majorities must focus on "affordability and accountability." She called for using "every tool at our disposal to rein in this President," ending what she called an "illegal war in Iran" and reversing Trump's tariffs.

"Let's get to work — there's plenty to do," she said.

The statement did not include a response from the White House.
