Trump and Musk both openly stated that they manipulated the election and manufactured votes. And even if that weren't the case, voter suppression and gerrymandering were also in full swing. So I wouldn't call it "generally fair and legitimate".

They are brazen about it too, disregarding the will of their own Party's governors sometimes. However, Senate and President were elected by a plurality of the electorate.
