U.S. President Donald Trump has questioned the legitimacy of Democrats’ midterm election victory after previously saying he was willing to accept the results, The Guardian reported Monday.

Democrats flipped dozens of seats last week and won control of both chambers of Congress, according to the report.

“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He questioned polling and suggested that large early-voting totals had made a Republican victory impossible. The supplied report offered no evidence supporting those allegations.

Trump also repeated baseless claims about voting machines, The Guardian reported, writing: “It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”

The comments contrast with his remarks to The New York Times after the election. In that interview, as quoted by The Guardian, Trump said he was “absolutely willing” to accept the results and that his administration looked forward to working with Democrats as they prepared to take control of Congress.

“We’ll probably work something out,” he told the Times.
