Trump slams ‘horrible’ Supreme Court mail-in ballot ruling

US President Donald Trump expressed strong disapproval of the Supreme Court's recent decision on Tuesday, after the court denied his request to lift an executive order he had signed in March. The order aimed to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections, citing concerns over potential fraud despite a lack of evidence to support such claims.

According to Trump, the decision was "horrible" and "highly political," with certain justices reportedly intimidated by Democrats. The president claimed that the US mail voting system is secure and free from fraud, and stated that the US is "the only country that has to endure such a nation destroying scam." The Supreme Court's ruling was criticized by Trump, who called it a significant loss for Republicans and a chance for radical left Democrats to cheat in the upcoming elections.

The dispute over mail-in voting is seen as a crucial issue with high political stakes, as Republicans currently hold narrow congressional majorities, while Democrats are favored to take control of the House and possibly the Senate in the upcoming November elections.
