Next to the pandemic, the upcoming elections are what many Americans are looking out for, especially as the race is now down to President Donald Trump and presumptively, former Vice President Joe Biden. During a virtual fundraiser for the campaign, Biden predicted that Trump may try and postpone the upcoming elections.
Business Insider reports that at the latest virtual fundraiser that was held for Biden alongside former candidate Pete Buttigieg, Biden revealed that Trump may try and postpone the 2020 elections that will take place in November. “Mark my words, I think he is gonna try to kick back the election, somehow - come up with some rationale why it can’t be held,” said the former vice president.
Biden has previously insisted that the election cannot be delayed. As to why he thinks Trump would try and postpone the elections, it was because Trump refused to give emergency aid to the US Postal Service. Trump’s refusal suggests that it was part of a strategy to make voting difficult. Trump has always opposed mail-in voting or absentee balloting, saying that it promotes voter fraud despite having admitted to casting votes through mail himself.
“Imagine threatening not to fund the post office...Now, what in God’s name is that about? Other than trying to let the word out that he’s going to do all he can to make it very hard for people to vote. That’s the only way he thinks he can possibly win,” said Biden.
At the same time, Biden welcomed some new personnel on his campaign. Reuters reports that former US Treasury secretary Larry Summers is now one of Biden’s economic advisers. Summers has long served as an adviser to Democratic presidents, including former President Barack Obama and his two-term administration.
Biden has a group of economic and public health experts to brief him ahead of the elections in November, being the presumptive Democratic nominee. He previously received major endorsements from Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Obama, and former vice president Al Gore over the past week. The major endorsements from Sanders and Warren come as an effort to further unite the Democratic party by November.
