Donald Trump on Wednesday maintained unseeded attacks on mail-mail ballots, which he said would produce an election that is “one of the biggest frauds in history.”
The U.S. president also seemed to admit that the U.S. Postal Service “doesn’t have the cash to hold universal postal voting” because his administration would not settle for Congressional Democrats’ requests to the postal service with billions and secure mail. voting systems before the November elections amid the pandemic.
His speech at the White House was then from Fox News on Wednesday, when the pro-Trump channel resorted to the politics of the first crusade of its Democratic rivals, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

U.S. President Follows his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, through 16 issues among the U.S. electorate in the latest Reuters/Ipsos national vote released Wednesday.
The results, which were collected between August 10 and 11, would have included all reactions to Biden’s Tuesday to speak to Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential candidate.
Trump’s net approval rate is minus 15%, with about 40% of respondents supporting his movements as president, according to Reuters/Ipsos.
Democrats criticize Trump’s claims over mail ballots
Here’s a reaction to Donald Trump’s comments on the ballots by mail and Wednesday’s November election, with a Democratic congressional candidate accusing the president of “withholding money” needed for the U.S. Postal Service to respond to voter demands.
Trump admits USPSS doesn’t have enough funds on mail ballots
In an attack on mailed ballots Wednesday, Donald Trump said the November election would produce “one of the biggest frauds in history.”
These comments, which precede an election in which about 75% of Americans will vote by mail, have little basis in truth.
The U.S. president also seemed to admit that the U.S. Postal Service “doesn’t have the cash to hold universal postal voting” because his administration would not settle for Congressional Democrats’ requests to the postal service with billions and secure mail. voting systems before the November elections amid the pandemic.
This comes as Republican and Democratic negotiations on the coronavirus stimulus plan stall over the length of the bill, prolonged unemployment benefits, aid to state and local governments, and cash to reopen schools.
“The bill is not going to be made because they don’t even need to communicate it, because we can’t give them the kind of ridicule they need that have nothing to do with the Chinese virus,” Trump added, despite the mailing vote is an approach to make sure other people don’t run the threat of spreading or contracting the disease at the ballot box.
Harris ‘proud’ after biden debut
The Democratic senator and vice presidential candidate said she was “proud” of her status alongside Joe Biden on Wednesday when the duo made their first appearance as a ticket.
While the pandemic made a classic crusade announcement impossible, Biden and Harris had a framework centered on their claim from the headline, Donald Trump.
“The opposite case of Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and closed,” Harris said. “This virus has affected almost every single country. But there is an explanation for why it has affected the United States worse than any other complex country. That’s because Trump didn’t take it seriously from the start.”
She added, “That’s what happens when we pick a man who’s just not in a position for the job.”
Harris, who is the first black man to appear on a primary party’s presidential ballot, said she and Biden had noticed the ancient meaning.
“This morning, across the country, small women, especially black and dark women, were awakened, who feel so ignored and undervalued in their communities. But today, perhaps, today, they see themselves for the first time in a new way.” Biden said.
Ms. Harris, who is also of South Asian descent, highlighted the “heroic and ambitious women who preceded me, whose sacrifice, determination and resistance make my presence here even more imaginable today.”
Making his crusade debut with fellow formula partner Kamala Harris on Wednesday, Joe Biden took the time to commemorate Charlottesville’s third anniversary, where many white supremacists, white nationalists and neo-Nazis descend to the city.
“Today is the day I’m proud to introduce Senator HarrisArray … it is also the third anniversary of this terrible day in Charlottesville,” said Biden, who once called his “wake-up call.”
“No president of the United States has ever said that,” Biden added.
President Trump, who was convicted in 2017 of the comments, had subsidized those protesting the removal of the statue of a Confederate general.
When the same demands were made in the wake of protests sparked by the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody in May, Trump sided with the Confederate statues, many seeing them as relics beyond American slave owners.

Fox News cuts Trump’s speech, Democrats
Donald Trump delivered the speech at the White House Wednesday, with attacks on his opponents, unfounded predictions about voter fraud, and outlandish coronavirus statistics.
“Think about it, 99.5%. That’s incredibly close to 100% of all deaths are adults,” the president said. “Children only have mild symptoms and medical headaches are incredibly rare.”
Comments come even though 97,000 young people contracted the virus in the United States in the last fortnight of July, in July to July.
So it probably wouldn’t have been a surprise that Fox News cut the president’s briefing before the hour.
Alternative coverage? Their war democratic parties are making their debuts.
