'Anybody believe this was honest?' Trump revives fraud claims after midterm results

In a turn of events, US president Donald Trump has questioned the legitimacy of the midterm election results, reviving claims about electoral fraud that he repeatedly made after losing the 2020 presidential election.In a post on Truth Social made on Monday, Trump questioned how pre-election polls had failed to predict the scale of Democratic victories and alleged that large batches of early votes had made it impossible for Republican candidates to win.“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???” Trump wrote.

“Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”The post marked a shift from Trump's relatively conciliatory response to the Republican losses.
