> President Donald Trump questioned the integrity of last week’s midterm elections after previously congratulating Democrats and saying he would accept the results. He offered no evidence of fraud or wrongdoing. Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer criticised Trump’s renewed election denialism, while some Republicans have distanced themselves from him after the party’s losses.
