"In a Truth Social post over the weekend, President Donald Trump continued to rehash the outcome of the 2020 presidential election - and appeared to lay the groundwork for calling the results of the upcoming 2026 midterms into question. For years, Trump has been unwilling to admit defeat in the 2020 election, wrongly alleging that President Joe Biden won the race as the result of widespread fraud, despite no verifiable evidence demonstrating that this was the case."
"Discussing recent allegations of illegal gambling within the NBA in his post, Trump described the election five years ago as "a far bigger SCANDAL," claiming, once again, that it was "rigged" and "stolen" from him. "We now know everything," Trump claimed, offering no evidence to back his claims. Trump also pressured the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the election, despite the outcome being subjected to several audits, examinations, and judicial inquiries that have all come to the same conclusion: The outcome was legitimate."
""I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much 'gusto' as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history!" Trump said. "If not, it will happen again, including the upcoming Midterms." Trump also called for Republicans to "GET SMART...BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE" on the issue of absentee and early voting, implying they should restrict or eliminate such methods, which he himself has often utilized in the past."
President Donald Trump used a Truth Social post to reiterate false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen, framing it as a major scandal compared with recent NBA gambling allegations. He asserted "We now know everything" and called for Department of Justice investigation despite multiple audits, examinations, and judicial inquiries confirming the election outcome. He warned similar actions could affect the upcoming 2026 midterms and urged Republicans to act on absentee and early voting, implying restrictions. Journalist Aaron Rupar amplified the post and commentators warned the statements could lay groundwork to contest future election results.
