Donald Trump says "Does anybody really believe that this 'Election' was honest." on midterm results

President Donald Trump on Monday used Truth Social to challenge the validity of last week’s midterm elections, after Democrats gained control of both chambers of Congress. In the post, he asserted without evidence that sizable batches of early ballots had prevented Republican candidates from winning and claimed voting machines were more consequential than voters. The remarks contrasted with his initial response, when he congratulated Democrats and told The New York Times he would accept the results. Trump has a history of making unsubstantiated election-fraud claims, including after losing the 2020 presidential race to Joe Biden. The midterm losses dealt a major setback to Republicans and to Trump’s political position midway through his term.
