Trump casts doubt on US midterm results with new fraud claims
The accusations marked a sharp reversal from the US president's initial acceptance of the results.
U.S. President Donald Trump has once again raised baseless allegations of voter fraud, this time questioning the integrity of the recent midterm elections. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed skepticism over the polls, questioning how they could have been so inaccurate. He alleged that "large early voting dumps" had made Republican victories unattainable.
Trump claimed that the issue lies with the machines, not the voters. This comes after Trump's initial acceptance of the election results on November 3, 2022, when he told The New York Times, "I am absolutely willing to accept those results."
