New Trump election claims cast doubt on the US midterm results, days after the president said he would accept the outcome. In a post on Truth Social on Monday, Trump asked: "Does anybody really believe that this 'Election' was honest". He made the claims without evidence, and they follow sweeping losses for Republicans.
What Trump said after the vote
On election night, Trump told a newspaper he was "absolutely willing" to accept the results, which saw Democrats retake both chambers of Congress. His post on Monday appeared to reverse that position. These Trump election claims came without supporting evidence, days after he had said he was willing to accept the outcome.
State and local officials across the US reported mostly smooth elections this year. Some key races have not yet been called, including US Senate contests in Alaska and Mississippi, so final results in those contests remain pending.

Aasan alfaaz mein
US mein midterm elections ke natijon ke baad President Trump ne Truth Social par sawal uthaya hai ke kya yeh election honest tha. Unhon ne yeh daawe bina saboot ke kiye, jabke kuch din pehle unhon ne kaha tha ke woh natijay qabool karenge. State aur local officials ke mutabiq zyadatar elections smooth rahe. Pakistan ke aam logon par abhi iska seedha asar nazar nahi aata.
