Trump can’t delay election, but he can do damage

Editorial from the Bloomberg opinion editorial board. Throughout his first term, President Donald Trump has set new standards for reckless and divisive con- duct in office. His latest declaration marks a dangerous new low. Thursday morning he suggested (on Twitter, of course) that the election in November, which will rely more heavily than usual on mail-in voting due to the pandemic, was bound to be inaccurate and fraud- ulent, and floated the idea of delaying it. When confronted with Trump’s outrageous behav- ior in the past, Republicans in Congress have gener- READERS’ FORUM ally pleaded ignorance or offered qualified defenses.
