House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said it’s “disgusting” that Democrats are pushing to include money for mail-in voting in the next coronavirus relief bill, dismissing the idea as unnecessary despite the pandemic
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said it’s “disgusting” that Democrats are pushing to include money for mail-in voting in the next coronavirus relief bill, dismissing the idea as unnecessary despite the pandemic.
The fierce pushback from McCarthy comes on the heels of President Donald Trump urging Republicans on Twitter Wednesday to “fight very hard when it comes to statewide mail-in voting.” Trump — who has suggested the practice could undermine GOP political prospects — has also claimed that mail-in voting is “corrupt.”
With coronavirus cases soaring, mail-in voting has become a new political flashpoint — particularly after the electoral mess in Wisconsin this week, which saw significantly reduced polling places and long lines of voters with face masks.
