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?"

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.
