Trump Defends Mail-In Ballots While Denouncing Them as Fraud
TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump defended using a mail-in ballot in Florida’s special elections, saying his status as president justified it even as he has repeatedly attacked mail-in voting as fraudulent. Critics note Florida’s no-excuse voting and warn that a future SAVE America Act could ban such voting, which could affect his eligibility for ballots under the bill. The remarks came during a White House cabinet meeting as Trump pushes the voting-restrictions package despite filibuster hurdles.
