Donald Trump Urges Republicans to Use Mail-In Ballots

President Donald Trump released a video on Truth Social urging Republicans to vote early, by mail, or in person for the midterm elections on November 3. This directive represents a shift in rhetoric for the president, who previously described mail-in ballots as "inherently corrupt."

Trump previously attempted to restrict mail-in voting through proposed legislation and an executive order, though the Supreme Court of the United States struck down that order in September. Despite his public opposition to the practice, Trump has personally used mail-in voting for primary and special elections in Florida.

The change in strategy comes as Republicans face potential losses in both chambers of Congress. These risks are attributed to Trump's low approval ratings and economic instability linked to the ongoing war with Iran.
