Donald Trump is raising doubts about the midterm elections after Republicans were shellacked.

In a Truth Social post on Monday morning, Trump said: “Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting “dumps” were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.”

“It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!” he added.

Trump’s post comes after he spent much of the weekend reposting election conspiracies on his Truth Social account, including an unsubstantiated claim that Republicans saw a uniform decline in vote share, but stopping short of endorsing any specific conspiracy theory or explicitly denying its results, Forbes reports.

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the midterm elections, and even prominent election deniers from the 2020 election have remained mostly silent amid the sweeping Democratic victory, according to the Associated Press.
