Trump Reverses Stance, Claims Midterm Election Fraud After Democrats' Landslide Win

zaobao.com.sg (Chinese) —

President Donald Trump reversed his earlier acceptance of midterm election results, now alleging widespread voter fraud. Democrats secured majorities in both congressional chambers, making any reversal unlikely to change the outcome. Trump criticized the elections Thursday, blaming Democrats for a stock market drop and requesting votes for a losing Republican candidate in Alaska be reassigned. Democrats hold at least 54 Senate seats and over 250 House seats, their largest advantage in nearly two decades. Trump threatened to use veto power against Democratic legislation, but fraud claims have faded amid the decisive victory. Analysts note reduced public acceptance of election denial, with minimal foreign interference reported in the vote.
