https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/i-dont-want-a-delay-trump-rows-back-on-delaying-election-but-not-on-mail-in-ballots/ar-BB17nRNXWASHINGTON President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to row back on the idea of delaying the 2020 election, even as he continued to raise doubts about efforts to expand mail-in voting in some states to respond to the coronavirus.
"Do I want to see a date change? No," Trump said at the White House hours after raising the idea of a delay in a tweet. "But I don't want to see a crooked election."
Trump drew bipartisan derision Thursday for questioning whether the presidential election be delayed over concerns about voting during the pandemic and his longstanding and unproven assertion that mail-in ballots would lead to election fraud.
Congressional Republicans bluntly rejected the idea and Democrats accused the president of attempting to sow doubt if the election doesn't go his way.
