Trump promised Monday to work to end mail-in voting and said work is already underway on an executive order to ban it before the 2026 midterm elections, although the Constitution does not give him this power.

“We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots,” he said during an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “We’re going to start with an executive order that’s being written right now by the best lawyers in the country to end mail-in ballots.”

    He’s so dumb. Denouncing mail-in voting cost him in 2020 and they reversed course in 2024. Now they’re against it again?

      Because Trump is a powerful man with his own intelligent ideas, of course he came to his own decision to get rid of mail in voting only single day after being told to by Putin.

      When he’s up in the polls, easier voting m helps him , when he’s down in the polls it’s a danger.

      There is a base of perpetually mobilized voters who will show up through hell and high water for him, but, it’s not enough to win against opposition when they’re able to mobilize voters.
