Trump Says 2026 Midterms Were Not Honest, Calls Out Election System
The President questions the integrity of the results, citing early voting and machines, as Republicans face a historic loss.
President Donald Trump, speaking on Truth Social on Monday, questioned the integrity of the 2026 midterm election results.
He warned that “no one can believe the 2026 election ‘was honest’,” and added that “Republicans never had a fair shot in the midterm elections because of large batches of early votes and the widespread use of voting machines.” The Washington Examiner calls the outcome arguably the worst midterm defeat for Republicans since the Watergate scandal.
Meanwhile, Trump is slated to host Qatar’s prime minister, Sheik Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani, at the White House – a figure the Washington Examiner describes as a key mediator in the war in Iran. BBC News notes the president’s claims were made without evidence after previously accepting the results.
