To no one’s surprise, Gov. Maura Healey and President Donald Trump had sharply different views of last week’s elections. Here are some of their post-election quotes.

“[The elections were] a resounding rejection of Donald Trump.”
—Gov. Healey.

“The results yesterday, across the board — it’s a referendum on Donald Trump. People are not happy with how he’s handling the economy. They’re not happy about the fact that under his presidency, prices continue to go up. People struggle with affordability all around this country, and he hasn’t delivered on what he promised to and that’s what last night was about.”
—Gov. Healey.

“It’s pretty clear what’s happening. [Donald Trump], your boss, your leader-in-chief, is taking you all down … and you got midterms next year. Read the room. This isn’t working for people.”
—Gov. Healey.

“After last night’s results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense.”
—President Trump.

“If you want to see what Congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the result of yesterday’s election in New York, where their party installed a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation.”
—President Trump.

“Last night I think, if you read the pollsters — the shutdown was a big factor for Republicans. They say that I wasn’t on the ballot was the biggest factor.”
—President Trump.
