- He claimed early vote counts made a Republican win impossible.
- Trump and Vance cited the Iran war among reasons for Republican losses.

## Summary

Donald Trump questioned the honesty of the midterm election results on social media, despite saying the previous week that he would accept them. He claimed early vote counts made it “impossible” for Republicans to win and suggested voting machines mattered more than voters, renewing concerns about election fraud without presenting evidence in the article.

The midterms dealt Republicans a heavy setback, which Trump variously attributed to his absence from the ballot, his immigration policies and the war in Iran. He said his immigration and deportation policies had been “too tough” and acknowledged that higher petrol costs linked to the war may have cost votes, while maintaining that military action against Iran was justified. Vice-President JD Vance also blamed the war for the losses and noted that some 2024 Trump voters had turned away from him.
