- President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that U.S. voting is corrupt, making the statement less than a month before the upcoming midterm elections.
- Trump contrasted U.S. election processing times with Brazil's presidential vote, alleging that American cities take weeks to rig or calculate results.
- “The results came out shortly after the vote closed, on the SAME DAY! In Detroit, Philadelphia, California, and numerous other U.S. Cities and States, the results, with much smaller numbers, will often take weeks to Rig, I mean, calculate. Voting in America is CORRUPT!!!”
- Polling suggests Democrats could retake the House and Senate , driven by public concerns over inflation, the Iran war, and low approval ratings. The president repeated a pledge to give U.S. adults $5,000 checks if Republicans retain control of Congress, leading to accusations of attempting to influence the vote.
- Trump continued to promote his long-standing narrative of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election despite government reports disproving the claims.
