  "summary": "The US Supreme Court has rejected President Donald Trump's plan to restrict mail-in ballots before the midterm elections, in a setback for the White House. The court upheld a federal judge's order temporarily blocking the US Postal Service from implementing new requirements for mail-in ballots, though it left the door open for a potential reversal in the future. The ruling, which was supported by conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, suggests that the final rule may be within the Postal Service's statutory authority, but noted that applying the rule in 2026 would be arbitrary and capricious.",
