President Donald Trump said he would respect the results of the U.S. mid‑term congressional elections scheduled for November 3, provided they are “fair.” The statement was made during a press briefing as he traveled to Texas to attend a campaign rally on Tuesday, October 28, 2026. Trump added that if the Republican Party were to lose control of the House or Senate, he would seek ways to work with Democrats. He also noted that he has the right to challenge the results if he believes they are not legitimate. Trump expressed hope that such a scenario would not occur. His comments come amid growing debate over the integrity of the election process. Trump has previously alleged widespread voter fraud in past elections, claims that have not been substantiated by evidence.
