US Midterm Elections: After defeat, Trump raises questions on voting machines, says – how can the results be so wrong

After the crushing defeat of the Republican Party in the US midterm elections, Donald Trump's attitude is once again seeing a big change. Trump, who indicated to work with the Democrats immediately after the results, is now talking about the rigging of the election instead of accepting his defeat. The US President has posted on Truth Social on Monday (November 9) questioning the voting machine and the fairness of the election. He said that due to mechanical malfunctions, the Republican Party has lost its majority in Parliament.

Donald Trump wrote, "Does anyone really believe that this election was honest? How can the results of the polls be so wrong? During the early voting, such a large number of votes were cast in some places that it was impossible for anyone else to win, no matter how many people went to vote. This is all a game of machines, which is more important than the voters. It is all a game of machines, which have become more dominant than the voter."

  Strategies to Cultivate Supporters

This rhetoric of Trump is considered to be a deliberate strategy to keep the different factions of his supporters at bay. On the one hand, he is comforting moderate Republican leaders by talking about a compromise with the Democrats, on the other hand, he is manipulating his aggressive supporters by making staunch supporters Stephen Miller his chief of staff and claiming fraud.
