- Description
- President Donald Trump is changing his messaging regarding mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections. In a pre-recorded video posted to Truth Social, he urged Republicans to cast their ballots early, by mail, or in person on Election Day. This marks a notable shift from his previous rhetoric, where he repeatedly criticized mail-in voting as fraudulent and pushed for strict restrictions through the proposed Save America Act. This pivot in messaging comes amid increasing GOP focus on voter turnout for the midterms, and follows a recent Supreme Court rejection of an attempt to restrict how ballots are mailed out. Hoping to mobilize his base, Trump has repeatedly encouraged voters to utilize any method available to them to ensure their votes are counted.
