Trump floats idea of election delay, a virtual impossibility

By ZEKE MILLER and COLLEEN LONG
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump, lagging in
the polls and grappling with deepening economic and
public health crises, on Thursday floated the startling idea
of delaying the Nov. 3 presidential election. The notion
drew immediate pushback from Democrats and Republi-
cans alike in a nation that has held itself up as a beacon
to the world for its history of peaceful transfer of power.
Trump suggested the delay as he pushed unsubstantia-
ted allegations that increased mail-in voting due to the
coronavirus pandemic would result in fraud. But shifting
Election Day is virtually impossible and the very idea re-
presented another bracing attempt by Trump to under-
mine confidence in the American political system.
Top Republicans in Congress quickly rebuffed Trump’s
suggestion. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said
the election date is set in stone and House GOP leader
Kevin McCarthy said the election “should go forward” as
planned. Regardless, the Constitution makes no provisi-
ons for a delay in the end of Trump’s term — noon on Jan. President Donald Trump delivers remarks about American energy production during a visit to the
