Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms, securing at least 54 Senate seats with two races unresolved and flipping more than 40 Republican-held House seats, while more than two dozen House races remained uncalled.

Election Day brought relatively few major voting problems; notable disruptions were tied to weather and equipment issues, including ballot-scanner problems in Westchester County, New York, and extended polling hours in parts of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

On election night, Trump told the New York Times he was “absolutely willing” to accept the results and would work with Democrats, while saying he was not on the ballot and praising Democrats for fighting hard.

That accepting tone shifted when Donald Trump shared several Truth Social posts questioning the scale and credibility of Democrats’ midterm gains.

Some posts challenged Democratic vote totals in Texas and nationally, calling Gina Hinojosa’s increase over Beto O’Rourke “Looney Tunes numbers” and comparing 2022 House results with projected 2026 totals.

The national comparison relied on projections based on 85 percent of the expected vote and estimates of remaining ballots, and neither post offered evidence of inaccurate results or fraud.

Trump also shared a post calling for ballot-level scrutiny, including hand counts of paper ballots and comparisons of poll-book records with counted votes; the cited posts did not say the results were fraudulent or that Trump no longer accepted them.
