Trump casts doubt on US midterm results with new fraud claims

United States President Donald Trump has once again raised baseless allegations of voter fraud, questioning the legitimacy of last week's midterm elections. According to Trump, large early voting "dumps" have made Republican victories impossible, as reported by his social media platform Truth Social. The president had previously accepted the election results but now claims that the machines are more important than the voters.

This marks a sharp reversal from his initial stance on election night, where he had told The New York Times that he was willing to accept the results. The accusations come after Democrats swept both chambers of Congress in a significant loss for Trump's Republican Party, leaving him as a lame duck president for the remaining two years of his term.
