"I never even thought of changing the date of the election," Trump said in April. "Why would I do that?" Today, the flailing president said the opposite.
As the race for the Democratic presidential nomination neared its end in April, Joe Biden made a provocative prediction about Donald Trump and the president's likely electoral antics. "Mark my words," the Delaware Democrat said, "I think he is going to try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can't be held."A few days later, a reporter asked Trump for a response. "I never even thought of changing the date of the election," the Republican replied. "Why would I do that? November 3rd. It’s a good number. No, I look forward to that election." The president added that the very idea of him seeking an election delay was "just made-up propaganda."
Yeah, about that...President Donald Trump on Thursday questioned whether the 2020 presidential election should potentially be postponed, claiming it could be ripe for fraud. “With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history," Trump tweeted. "It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”
