He insinuated there was something wrong. This is a preview of what he will do to undermine the 2020 results if he loses. Republicans should defend the integrity of the elections but of course they won’t.

-Trump tells mtng tonight it’s fishy/rigged that close House races mainly broke Dem.
-Great majority of those races last fall were in Calif.

President Trump, speaking to the NRCC, seemed to imply the 2018 midterms were rigged: "we have to be a little bit careful, because I don't like the way the votes are being tallied. You don't like it either, you just don't want to say it because you're afraid of the press."
