Trump faces rare rebuke from GOP for floating election delay.
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, in an interview with The Associated Press, said he feared "a new wave of economic downturn" as he grapples with pressure to institute a second stay-at-home order as coronavirus infections in his state surge. The first-term Republican governor said he would do "everything possible" to avoid another shutdown but could not rule out the possibility.
"If it takes a few more months, then so be it," Falwell said in an interview, raising the prospect of limiting the president's powers if the delay extends beyond his first term. There have been a series of lower-profile flashpoints over the last four years that prompted modest concerns from Republicans that were quickly forgotten, and the latest debate over the election date may soon fall into that category.
