Donald Trump denied reports that he was upset about the election results and blamed his closest advisers for high-profile losses after the GOP lost control of the House of Representatives.
Reports that Trump blamed his wife and Fox News host for urging him to support Mehmet Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race were false.
In one of five Truth Social posts, Trump claimed that Oz was losing before he endorsed him, but in reality, neither Oz nor Fetterman had won their primaries.
Trump suggested Oz lost votes by making the mistake of refusing to deny the results of the 2020 presidential election, while Oz did shy away from election denialism at the tail end of his campaign.
Fox News hosted one-time Trump allies and conservative pundits in the wake of Election Day who criticized the former president for the GOP's lackluster showing, but now they're really.
There has been no evidence of fraud in Nevada or Arizona, despite Trump's claims that they have a corrupt voting system.
Oz was one of the Trump-backed candidates who lost up and down the ballot. Candidates who helped Trump push false claims that he lost the election lost their races. Lauren Boebert is clinging to her seat by a few hundred votes in a race that has yet to be decided. Herschel Walker, Trump's pick in the Georgia Senate contest, got less votes than Sen. Raphael Warnock and the race will go to a second round. Trump's enemies triumphed. The Georgia Secretary of State refused to help Trump cheat in the election. Democrats won competitive House races after Liz Cheney endorsed them. In a major blow to Trump's presidential ambitions, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won re-election by a large margin and became the first Republican in 14 years to be elected in Miami-Dade County. Reports said that Trump was angry at Mar-A-Lago. In a post on Truth Social, Trump acknowledged that the results were disappointing.
The advisers of Trump want him to delay his announcement that he will run for president in 2024 so the party can focus on electing Walker.
