Trump Says He'll Only Accept 2026 Midterms If He Deems Them "Honest"

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.
