Trump Advocates for Mail and Early Voting Despite Historically Opposing Both
Trump now tells supporters to use early or mail ballots after years of attacking the practice and pushing restrictions that courts blocked.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump released a video urging Republicans to vote early and by mail in the midterm elections, reversing his long-standing criticism of these voting methods.
- For years, Trump described mail-in voting as a "Nation Destroying SCAM" and "inherently corrupt," while simultaneously using the method himself and unsuccessfully pushing the SAVE America Act to restrict it.
- The president declared, "Republicans must WIN the 2026 Midterm Elections, and we must use every appropriate tool," while promoting the "Swamp The Vote USA" initiative to mobilize supporters.
- This strategy shift aims to help Republicans overcome a challenging political environment, as Democrats have built momentum in competitive races less than five weeks before the November 3 election.
- With over one million ballots already cast, the Republican Party is mobilizing voters early, a shift following legal setbacks that previously blocked attempts to restrict mail-in voting.
