Trump urges supporters to vote by mail despite fraud claims
The US president has repeatedly made false claims that voter fraud, including with mail-in ballots, caused his 2020 election defeat.
President Donald Trump urged his supporters on Saturday and again on Monday to vote by mail in the upcoming congressional midterm elections on November 3rd, despite his previous claims of widespread mail-in ballot fraud. Speaking at the White House before heading to a rally in Nebraska, Trump stated that his supporters could vote by mail if they desired, acknowledging that many people wished to vote in this manner, while others preferred in-person voting.
Trump's shift in stance comes after he posted a campaign video over the weekend encouraging Republicans to cast their ballots, either early, by mail, or in person on Election Day. It remains unclear why Trump altered his previously held position that mail-in voting was plagued with fraudulent activity.
