President Donald Trump questioned the legitimacy of the US midterm election results after Republicans suffered sweeping losses, just days after saying he would accept the outcome, according to BBC World.

On election night, Trump told “The New York Times” he was “absolutely willing” to accept the results, which saw Democrats retake both chambers of Congress.

He appeared to change his position on Monday in a post on “Truth Social”, asking: “Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest”.

State and local officials across the United States reported that elections had been mostly smooth this year. Some key races, including US Senate contests in Alaska and Mississippi, have yet to be called.
