Trump: "Were the midterm elections fair?" Claims of election fraud... Minjoo: “Pathetic” (comprehensive)

US President Donald Trump eventually brought up the theory of election fraud in the midterm elections.

On the 9th (local time), President Trump said through the social media platform TruthSocial, "Do you really believe that this election was fair? How can public opinion polls be so wrong?"

“The piles of votes in some early voting were so huge that it was impossible to win no matter how many people went to vote,” President Trump said, adding, “It’s all about voting machines. Voting machines are more important than voters.”

This can be interpreted as an argument that even though there were many votes supporting the Democratic candidate in early voting and many Republican supporters voted on-site on the day of the main poll, they lost in the midterm election due to the possibility of early voting fraud.

Previously, when the Republican Party's crushing defeat was confirmed on the day of the midterm elections on the 3rd, President Trump said, "I am willing to fully accept the results," but reversed his position six days later by bringing up the theory of election fraud.

The AFP news agency pointed out that "President Trump repeatedly raised groundless claims about election fraud after losing the 2020 presidential election," and that regarding this election, "President Trump again raised groundless allegations of election fraud."

The Democratic Party immediately refuted this, saying they knew President Trump would do this.

“He can whine as much as he wants, but he can’t stop this inevitable truth,” Schumer added.

He added, “Trump will face the largest Democratic congressional majority in decades during his final two years in office,” adding, “This is all because of his unprecedented failure.”
