Despite telling reporters at The New York Times on Election Night that he was “absolutely willing” to accept the results of the midterms, Donald Trump is now singing tired, familiar refrains, claiming — without a shred of evidence, of course — that the shellacking he and his party took wasn’t an “honest” contest after all.
As we all know, the president has made unfounded and unhinged fraud claims before. In the aftermath of his 2020 presidential defeat, Trump lost more than 60 court cases trying to challenge and overturn the results, including in states run by Republicans. That months-long temper tantrum culminated in his failed insurrection on January 6, 2021. We cannot go down that road again.
Tell Republican election officials to reject Trump and certify the results of the 2026 midterms!
Donald’s argument should fall on deaf ears. Many of the races he’s challenging took place in states dominated by Republicans at the state and local level. Fraud of this magnitude would require an unthinkable level of duplicitous coordination among Republican officials who’ve been faithful and loyal to both the president and their party for years. In short, it’s total bullshit.
Election officials don’t need reminding, but certification is a legal obligation, not a political favor. And it certainly does not depend on who won or lost.
If anyone has any evidence of actual fraud, they should take it to court. The results of our elections cannot be held hostage by the narcissistic whims of a mad man who cannot stomach losing. Every delay, every performative act of faux outrage, and every disingenuous claim of “irregularities” signals to the American people that their votes only count when the “right” candidates win.
Tell Republicans to reject Trump’s bogus fraud claims once and for all and certify the midterms without delay!
