U.S. 2020: Trump raises possibility of delaying presidential election

The U.S. presidential election is expected to hold in November.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said that the November presidential election might have to be delayed, citing unsubstantiated claims that mail-in voting could result in fraud.“It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???” TrumpIt was the first time Trump has floated the idea of postponing the election, though he does not have the power to do so unilaterally.

The president has been pushing hard to block the expansion of postal voting in states around the country.

There is no evidence to support the idea that either absentee or mail-in ballots contribute to voter fraud.
