President Trump has questioned whether last week’s midterm elections were “honest,” less than a week after saying he was “absolutely willing” to accept Republicans’ sweeping losses.

Getting into it: In a Truth Social post, Trump asked why the polls were “so wrong,” claimed certain early voting “dumps” were big enough to make it “impossible to win” and said “it’s all about the machines,” without providing evidence or explaining what he meant. When reporters pressed him on whether the vote was rigged, he said “the numbers were terrible in terms of those early votes.”

The comments are a sharp turn from election night, when Trump told The New York Times he’d accept the results and work with Democrats, who won about 54 Senate seats and 254 House seats, with races in Alaska and Mississippi still being counted. The shift started Saturday, when Trump reposted an account arguing the swing toward Democrats was suspiciously even across states.

State and local officials who ran the vote have reported few problems and nothing pointing to fraud on any real scale. The Pew Research Center found the polls actually got the outcome right and just lowballed how big Democrats would win.

Nevada’s Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar called Trump’s claims “completely false,” saying “the systems worked,” while conservative commentator Megyn Kelly responded to Trump’s post with two words: “just stop.” A White House official pointed out that Trump had said before the election he’d respect the results “if they’re honest elections.”

This all comes as Trump has also acknowledged that the Iran war, high gas prices and his deportation policies hurt Republicans.
