  "account": "US President Donald Trump has reasserted allegations of voter fraud in the recent midterm elections, questioning their legitimacy, according to reports. In a post on Truth Social, Trump suggested that the polls had been incorrect, stating, \"Does anybody really believe that this Election was honest? How could the Polls be so wrong???\" He alleged that large early-voting dumps had made Republican victories impossible, emphasizing that it was all about the machines rather than the voters. This marks a stark contrast to Trump's initial acceptance of the election results on election night, as he told The New York Times, \"I am absolutely willing to accept those results.\" Trump's baseless claims of election fraud have a long history, notably following his defeat by Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.",
  "summary": "WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump renewed baseless allegations of voter fraud on Monday, questioning the legitimacy of last week’s midterm elections after Democrats swept both chambers of Congress in a crushing defeat for his Republican Party.",
