It is illegitimate. Republicans are doing everything they can to lie, cheat and steal the election. Nice to know the Repugnican propaganda machine is still taking in victims.

Bweh?

That makes no sense. Either the system Biden was elected under is legitimate and, thusly, the failure of his reform will not suddenly make the midterms 'illegitimate', or the system was illegitimate when Biden got elected which is why the reforms are needed to make the midterms 'legitimate'. You can't have Biden both be legitimately elected and a change being needed to be made because, otherwise, the election would be illegitimate.

Of course there are some other options. Either A) Biden is misleading by claiming that the election MAY be illegitimate to exaggerate the fact that no election is 100% assured to be completely and totally unbiased. B) The system was legitimate, Biden cheated to win, and is now trying to lock in the measures to ensure future victories but, with the failure, he can't win and is trying to set up a 'no-win' situation. C) Biden didn't cheat to win but is trying to set up a no-win situation regardless. If the Midterms happen and Republicans win, then the election is illegitimate because the Republicans cheated. If the midterms happen and democrats win, then he claims the election is legitimate and Dems hold power.

Let me see if I can put it another way. Can you imagine a realistic and likely scenario in which the Republicans legitimately win the election squarely and fairly in the midterms?

I can see it for both parties, but we're not talking about the Democrats winning right now (would likely be a matter of them trying to drum up the youth voter base around vaccine mandates and anti-Trump/right-wing notions). I'm asking you if you can see a scenario in which, given the current ongoings, the Republics win legitimately, without cheating or anything of the sort, that is realistic and at least plausibly likely to happen?
