WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama said Wednesday he has heard the message from voters who put Republicans in power in the U.S. Senate and extended their majority in the House of Representatives in a midterm election that was a clear repudiation of the president's leadership.

"To everyone who voted, I hear you," Mr. Obama said.

Mr. Obama said the Republican victories are a sign Americans want Washington "to get the job done" and he is eager to hear Republican ideas for governing together.

Still, he vowed not to give up on his priorities, including job creation and changing the country's broken immigration system. He stood by his pledge to act on his own to reduce deportations improve border security by the end of the year.

Tuesday's vote gives Republicans momentum heading into the 2016 presidential race, which becomes the focus of American politics for the next two years. At issue now is whether Mr. Obama, congressional Democrats and the newly robust Republican majorities will be able to break the legislative gridlock that has gripped the U.S. capital in recent years.

Mr. Obama said that over the next two years, he will "measure ideas by whether they work for the American people" - not by whether they are proposed by Republicans or Democrats.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama said he hears the frustration of voters who handed control of the Senate to Republicans in an election that is being viewed as a repudiation of the White House.

"To those of you who voted, I hear you," Obama said Wednesday in his first public remarks since the election. To those who didn't vote, "I hear you too."

Obama said every election offers a "moment for reflection," but declined to use language like "shellacking" as he has in the past to characterize the scale of the defeat.

"There is no doubt Republicans had a good night," Obama said.

The election left Republicans with solid control of Congress, holding at least 52 seats in the Senate and the largest majority in the House since World War II, according to CNN projections.

Before Obama appeared before the cameras, Mitch McConnell, who is in line to be the next majority leader, challenged the President to heed the message sent by the election.

McConnell said the President could wield his veto and confront Republicans. But he advised Obama to follow Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, who built domestic legacies despite often having to deal with a Congress controlled by opposing parties.

McConnell said those two presidents are "good examples of accepting the government you have rather than fantasizing about the government you wished you had."
