Trump says he will respect midterm election results 'if they're honest elections'

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (October 27) that he would respect the results of the midterm election next week, adding "if they're honest elections."

Trump spoke before boarding Air Force One for a campaign trip to Texas where Republican Ken Paxton is facing off against Democrat James Talarico for a U.S. Senate seat.

Trump, a Republican, has been on a campaign blitz through normally safe Republican states ahead of the November 3 vote, with party strategists telling Reuters they are on edge about races from Alaska to South Carolina, in part because of voter discontent over how Trump's tariffs and the Iran war have fueled inflation.

All 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 Senate seats are on the ballot, with public opinion polls suggesting the Democrats will regain control of the House and have a chance to retake the Senate.

A Republican victory would preserve Republican control of Congress, which Trump has enjoyed since returning to the White House after the 2024 election, while a Democratic victory could impede the president and trigger congressional investigations into his administration.
