Trump questions fairness of Democrats’ midterm election victory despite saying he would accept results

The US president is not convinced that the Democrats' big midterm election victory last week was fair. On Monday, Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social: "Does anyone really believe that the 'election' was fair?"

His post goes on to ask how the polls he claims to have seen “could be so wrong” and claims that “early vote dumping” made it impossible for the Republicans to win.

In the midterm elections on November 3, Trump’s Republican Party suffered a crushing defeat, with the Democrats regaining the majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The day after the election, Trump told The New York Times that he was “definitely” willing to accept the results and that the Democrats had done a “great job.” But over the weekend, he reposted several posts on his Truth Social platform suggesting that the Democrats had committed voter fraud.
