In a surprising turn of events, US President Donald Trump has raised doubts about the authenticity of the recent midterm elections, contradicting his earlier congratulatory remarks towards the Democratic Party's victories. Trump's assertions, made on the social media platform Truth Social, question the accuracy of the polls and suggest widespread voter fraud. While Republican party members have echoed similar sentiments about underestimated support in past elections, the results ultimately favored the Democrats, as anticipated by pre-election surveys. Pew Research Centre's analysis revealed that pre-election polling data understated the Democratic margin by at least 2 points in 23 out of 27 races for governor and Senate positions. Trump's allegations, however, lack concrete evidence to support them. This latest remark marks Trump's first explicit public challenge to the midterm results' integrity since Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress and made significant gains in traditionally Republican strongholds. Trump's comments come a day after an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes, where he appeared to accept the election outcome. Despite these recent statements, Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer has criticized Trump's claims as a return to baseless election denialism. As Trump faces the largest Democratic congressional majorities in decades due to his presidency's unprecedented failures, Republican party members have been distancing themselves from him following the midterm losses. Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly, who previously supported Trump, responded bluntly to his election fraud claims, urging him to stop.
