In his first public appearance since late on election night, President Donald Trump is claiming that pollsters knew the races up and down the ballot were a lot closer but intentionally skewed the results.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday night, Trump read off a few states that he won on the presidential level despite polls showing him trailing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden “despite historic election interference by big media, big money, and big tech.”

“And the pollsters got it knowingly wrong,” Trump continued. “We had polls that were so ridiculous, and everybody knew it at the time. There was no blue wave that they predicted … that was false, that was done for suppression reasons — instead, there was a big red wave.”

“And it’s been properly acknowledged actually by the media. They were, I think, very impressed, but that was after the fact, that doesn’t do us any good,” he added.

Ahead of the election, Democrats look poised to sweep into control of the White House and the Senate. However, as the results came in on election day, it became clear that pollsters had underestimated Republican support in several states.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz pointed to several polls that gave massive advantages to Democrats as proof that something went wrong in the polling process.

During an appearance on Fox News on Thursday, Luntz said, “The Washington Post got Wisconsin wrong by sixteen points.”

He continued, “CNN, your competitive network, declared last weekend that Joe Biden was going to win by 12 points. It looks like he’ll get about a 3.5% advantage over Donald Trump when all of the votes are counted.”

“They should’ve known better because they got it wrong four years ago,” Luntz added.

While the presidency is still too close to call, House Republicans made surprising gains in races around the country. Before the election, the non-partisan Cook Political Report predicted Democrats would pick up 10 to 15 seats.

However, Republicans are now expected to win between five and ten seats.
