A wave of protests led by ex-President Donald Trump is threatening to disrupt the results of Tuesday’s vote.
Republican candidates in the US midterm elections on November 8 will accept the results of the polls, whether they win or lose, the Conservative Party president assured on Sunday.
As a wave of Republican protests led by ex-President Donald Trump threatens to overturn Tuesday’s voting results, party leader Ronna McDaniel also said she was confident Conservatives would bring the “right momentum” to move Congress to the right to bring side.
For two years, President Joe Biden’s Democrats have held a narrow majority in the House of Representatives and a single majority, held by Vice President Kamala Harris, in the Senate.
Republican candidates for both houses in Washington, as well as all local ballots, including state governors, “want to make sure the race is fair and transparent to let the process unfold, and then we will accept the results,” Ronna McDaniel continued CNN.
300 Republican candidates poised to challenge results
The party leader reiterated that Republican candidates — winning or losing — would respect the voice of Tuesday night’s polls, contradicting a series of statements by leaders close to their champion Donald Trump, who never claimed his defeat in November’s presidential election had recognized Election 2020.
For example, Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake refused to say she would respect a losing result against her Democratic opponent in the divided southern US state. The same is true in Wisconsin (North), where outgoing Republican Senator Ron Johnson did not say he would bow to Democrat Mandela Barnes in the event of a loss.
About 300 Republican candidates would stand ready to challenge the results of Tuesday night’s national and local elections, according to the Democrat and analyst camp. When asked about people monitoring specific polling stations, she assured that “no one should intimidate voters” while defending the right to monitor the election process.
The polls are predicting a clear victory in the House of Representatives for the Republicans, who could also regain control of the Senate.

On Saturday in Pennsylvania, at competing campaign events, Joe Biden and his predecessor Barack Obama urged their constituents to mobilize in defense of “democracy.” Opposite them, former President Donald Trump, who dreams of revenge in the 2024 presidential election, urged his supporters to vote in the general election to provoke “a huge wave” of Republicans and “save the American dream.”
