Changing Trump's position

 

The turmoil of the US election has begun. In this regard, President Trump first proposed to postpone the proposed presidential election and then changed his position. "I would prefer not to delay, yet I'm stressed over certain issues," he said.

President Trump on Thursday suggested postponing the November presidential election. He said in a tweet that "postal voting would make 2020 presidential election the most flawed and fraudulent election in history and would be a disgrace to the United States."

Democrats talk about unfamiliar impact in casting a ballot, yet they realize that 'mail-in' casting a ballot is a simple path for an outsider to enter the race, and that postal voting is for those areas," he said. It is already proving to be a catastrophic disaster where it has been tested. "

PresidentTrump asked three questions in his Twitter message: "Should the election be postponed until people can vote in a proper, accurate, and safe manner?"

Changing Trump's position

However, Trump-backed away from his earlier remarks after a strong reaction from members of Congress, including Democrats and his own ruling party, to President Trump's idea. "Do I want to postpone the election date," he told a news conference at the White House on Thursday. But I do not want fraudulent elections. "

Trump's remarks came as the United States recorded a 32.9 percent decline in economic activity between April and June. This is the worst decline since 1947. The rate of economic decline during the same period in 2019 was 9.5%.

On the other hand, opinion polls suggest that President Trump is trailing his Democratic rival Joe Biden, even in states such as Texas, Arizona, and Georgia, which are considered Republican strongholds.

Donald Trump has long spoken out against postal voting, even though he was widely used in the primary because of the coronavirus. Trump has also accused it of rigging but declined to say whether he would accept the results if he lost the election.

Democrat leader Dan Kelly said on Twitter: "The current president is lying and proposing to postpone the election to stay in power, but we will not allow that to happen. We must speak out against neglect. "

 Senator and Democratic leader Tom O'Dell said, "Trump cannot delay the election in any way. We must not allow his incompetence to deal with Corona to succeed."

Only the US Congress has the power to change the date of the presidential election.

Trump himself cannot postpone the election

The US president does not have the authority to change the date of the presidential election. Under the US Constitution, this power is vested only in the US Congress and any such action must be approved by the US Congress. But in the current context, it does not seem possible to get a vote for Donald Trump from Congress in favor of this proposal.

It should be noted that many US states want voting by post due to health concerns caused by the Coronavirus epidemic. About half of US states allow voters to vote on a request by mail.

Analysts say President Trump's tweets and previous statements about election fraud have raised fears that he may refuse to accept the results if they do not.

 Democrats and their presidential rival Joe Biden have already begun preparing to protect voters and the election for fear that Donald Trump will try to interfere in the November 3 election.
