Did president trump vote by mail
According to various reports and news articles, President Trump has been inconsistent in his stance on voting by mail. Here are a few examples:
- In 2020, during the presidential election, Trump claimed that voting by mail was "corrupt" and "a disaster" in an interview with Fox News. He also stated that he would not vote by mail himself.
- However, in 2018, Trump did vote by mail in the Florida primary election. His campaign explained that he was following the rules of the state's election laws, which allow voters to request absentee ballots.
- In 2019, Trump tweeted that he had voted by mail in the 2018 midterm elections, stating that it was "a great honor" to do so.
- In 2020, Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, claimed that Trump had voted by mail in the 2020 primary election in Florida. However, this was later disputed by the Trump campaign, which stated that Trump had actually voted in person.
It's worth noting that Trump's stance on voting by mail has been criticized by many Democrats and voting rights advocates, who argue that it is a convenient and secure way for people to exercise their right to vote. Trump's criticism of voting by mail has been seen as an attempt to suppress voter turnout, particularly among Democratic-leaning voters.
In summary, while Trump has made contradictory statements about voting by mail, it appears that he has voted by mail in at least one election (the 2018 Florida primary) and possibly others.
