"Asked whether he'd respect the results of the elections that will be held later this year, Trump said he would only do so if he deemed the outcomes to be legitimate. "I will [accept the midterm outcomes] if the elections are honest," Trump said. Trump also said that if the elections aren't "honestly" conducted, "then something else has to happen." The president's judgment on what constitutes an "honest" election is highly suspect, as he has repeatedly peddled falsehoods."
"Within the interview with Llamas, Trump also claimed to have had "a great election" in 2024, describing it as "one of the greatest elections" ever. A closer examination of the election results from that year shows that he won by one of the thinnest margins in history, and did not secure majority support from voters. Despite his win in 2024, Trump told Llamas that he still "believe[d] there was cheating" involved in states he did not win."
President Donald Trump indicated he might not accept the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections, saying he would accept results only if he deemed them "honest." He warned that "then something else has to happen" if elections are not "honestly" conducted. Trump described his 2024 victory as "one of the greatest elections" despite winning by one of the thinnest margins and not securing majority voter support. He asserted he "believe[d] there was cheating" in states he did not win. There is no evidence to corroborate claims of widespread fraud. He recently urged Republicans to "nationalize" state-managed elections.
