President Trump used a White House briefing on Thursday afternoon to reiterate unfounded concerns about mail-in voting in the forthcoming presidential election.
WASHINGTON — Earlier in the day, on Twitter, he floated the possibility of delaying the election “until people can properly, securely and safely vote.”
The coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 151,000 Americans, is almost certain to complicate in-person voting on Nov. 3. At the same time, Trump has insistently claimed that voting by mail — the seemingly safest option to avoid transmission of the virus — will be subject to fraud. On Thursday alone, the nation recorded 1,449 new coronavirus deaths. One of those who died was Herman Cain, the businessman and onetime Republican presidential contender. Cain contracted COVID-19 less than two weeks after attending a Trump campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., last month. His death was announced on Thursday morning, and Trump began his briefing by acknowledging his passing.
