(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said a wave of bombing attempts against prominent Democrats is slowing political momentum for Republicans as congressional elections approach.

“Now this “Bomb” stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows - news not talking politics,” Trump said in a tweet Friday morning. “Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!”

Law enforcement agencies have found a dozen apparent explosive devices sent to prominent Democrats and targets of conservative vitriol over the past week.
