Trump Questions Legitimacy of Midterm Elections, Cites Voting Machines and Early Votes
US President Donald Trump questioned the legitimacy of the recent midterm elections after significant Democratic victories, alleging without evidence that large early voting 'dumps' and voting machines influenced the results more than voters. These claims marked a reversal from his initial acceptance of the outcomes. Trump has previously made similar unfounded allegations following the 2020 presidential election. In a related interview, he acknowledged that his administration's deportation policies may have contributed to Republican losses and expressed willingness to work with Democrats on immigration.
