Trump Urges Republicans to Fight Against Statewide Mail-In Voting

President Donald Trump is suggesting Republicans avoid one thing in order to gain momentum against Democrats.

Trump tweeted his opposition to mail-in voting.

“Republicans should fight very hard when it comes to statewide mail-in voting. Democrats are clamoring for it,” Trump tweeted. “Tremendous potential for voter fraud, and for whatever reason, doesn’t work out well for Republicans.”

His comments come shortly after he claimed mail-in voting is “horrible, it’s corrupt,” as IJR previously reported. However, Trump defended his decision to vote by mail in Florida’s primary last month.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosivoiced her thoughts on Trump’s opinion of mail-in voting.

“I feel sad that the president doesn’t have confidence that his party cannot convince the American people about a path to go forward,” Pelosi said.
