In the days following Donald Trump’s clear win, conspiracy theories about how votes were tampered with or how the election was stolen from Kamala Harris have spread on the left, with viral tweets, TikTok videos, and posts on Threads making a chaotic and spotty case alleging a fishy result.

SAN DIEGO — Donald Trump’s first picks for immigration policy jobs spent the last four years angling for this moment.
Stephen Miller and Thomas Homan had critical roles in the first Trump administration and are unapologetic defenders of its policies, which included separating thousands of parents from their children at the border to deter illegal crossings.
No sooner had soon-to-be U. S. Rep. Gabe Evans outlined what drives him in public office — his faith, the U. S. Constitution and the needs of his constituents — than a reporter coyly asked him during a post-election news conference Monday when he planned to start fundraising for his 2026 reelection campaign.

In the race for Arizona’s open US Senate seat, Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego has defeated the state’s most vociferous election-denier, Republican Kari Lake. His win gives Democrats 47 Senate seats to the Republicans’ 53.
