Republican U.S. President Donald Trump has alleged fraud in the midterm elections, which were won by the Democrats.
Following the November 3 election, the Democrats will take control of the U.S. Congress.
“Does anyone really believe these ‘Elections’ were fair? How could the Polls have been so wrong??? Some of the early-vote ‘dumps’ were so massive that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people turned out to vote. It’s all about the machines (voting machines, editor’s note), which are far more important than the voter!” Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday.
The statement contrasts with his stance on election night. “I am absolutely willing to accept those results,” he told The New York Times at the time.
Trump had also alleged fraud following the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
Democrat Chuck Schumer’s response: “Election denial”
In response to the Republican president’s remarks, the top Democrat in the US Senate said that “Donald Trump’s pathetic return to election denial was inevitable.”
“He can whine all he wants, but nothing will change this inescapable truth: in the final two years of his presidency, Trump will face the largest Democratic majorities in Congress in decades, all because he has been an unprecedented failure,” Chuck Schumer said, as quoted by AFP.
