Suggests delaying the 2020 election due to baseless fraud claims

In a tweet that shocked lawmakers from both parties, Trump suggested delaying the November election, claiming that universal mail-in voting would make it "the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history." He had no authority to delay the election, a power that rests with Congress. The suggestion was widely seen as an attempt to delegitimize the election results in advance, as polls showed him trailing Joe Biden.

"Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???" — Twitter, July 30, 2020
