Trump has been railing against mail-in ballots for months as a possible source of fraud, although millions of Americans — including much of the military — have cast absentee ballots by mail for years without such problems. Trump later said at a news briefing that if a deal was reached that included postal funding, he would not veto it.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell yesterday said the Republican-controlled Senate was leaving Washington until September, unless there was a coronavirus relief agreement that required a vote. Roughly one in four US voters cast ballots by mail in 2016, and Trump has voted by mail. Trump has also criticised state efforts to make voting by mail more widely available, saying without evidence it could lead to widespread fraud. Evidence shows mail voting is as secure as any other method.
White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany doubled down at a news briefing, saying the administration opposed any additional funding for election security in a coronavirus relief bill.
