Trump changes tune on election results

President Donald Trump is questioning whether the midterm elections were honest, less than a week after telling The New York Times he was "absolutely willing to accept" the results, CNN reports.

In a brief update, Kaitlan Collins reads from Trump's Monday Truth Social post, which challenges the election's honesty and asks how polling could have been so wrong. Collins counters that most pre-election polling had anticipated Democratic success.

The report also points to who governs several states where Trump-backed candidates fell short. Texas, Ohio and South Carolina all have Republican governors, Collins notes, bringing the president's own party's state leadership into the context of his complaint.

Collins places the post within Trump's history of disputing election outcomes, including the 2020 presidential election. She closes with Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer's response on social media, telling Trump to stop whining.

The CNN video drew roughly 595,000 views since yesterday. Its focus is the contrast between Trump's stated willingness to accept the outcome and his public questioning of it after Republican losses.
