Critics are eyeing a constitutional provision that has never been invoked in nearly 60 years

Democrats took control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the midterm elections, delivering a punishing verdict on the Republican Party.

Last week, the US President Donald Trump told The New York Times he would ‘absolutely’ accept the results, adding: “We’ll work with the Democrats, and we’ll, you know, look forward to working with them. We’ll probably work something out.”

In the days since, the 80-year-old’s message has changed. On Monday, he posted on social media: “Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???”

He continued: “Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.”
