Abdul El-Sayed: Democrats must ‘win by massive numbers’ to fend off Trump election denial

Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed stated on Sunday that Democrats must win by massive numbers in the November federal midterm elections. According to The Guardian US, El-Sayed argued this is necessary because Donald Trump and his Republican allies are likely to attempt to sow doubt regarding the integrity of the results, following Trump's baseless claims that his 2020 election loss was stolen.

The Guardian US reports that Democrats are favored to win control of the House of Representatives during the November 3 midterms, and polls suggest the party could also gain a Senate majority by winning seats in traditionally Republican states. In a separate midterm battle, The Hill reports that Democrat Amy Acton leads Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in recent polls for the governor's mansion in Ohio, which could flip for the first time in two decades.

A CNN poll showed Acton with an 8 percentage point lead over Ramaswamy, following a poll by the New York Times/Siena that also found Acton ahead.
