- Democrats won both chambers as counting continued in some races.

## Summary

The article adds context to Donald Trump’s renewed doubts about the US midterm results, which came days after he said he would accept them. He questioned whether the election was honest after Republicans lost both chambers of Congress, though he was not on the ballot.

Trump referred vaguely to polling, vote “dumps” and machines without giving evidence of errors or wrongdoing. Democrats have won 54 Senate seats and 254 House seats, with some contests in Alaska and Mississippi still uncalled. Election officials described voting as mostly problem-free, while experts said vote reporting followed normal patterns and slower counts reflect state procedures.
