For the first time, US President Donald Trump has openly discussed a postponement of the presidential election. With the increase in letter polls in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, the November polls threatened to become the "most flawed and fraudulent " in US history, Trump wrote on Thursday's Twitter embassy service. " It will be a great embarrassment for the United States, " added the Republican, asking, " Postponing the election until people can vote correctly and safely? "
In polls for the election on November 3, Trump is sometimes significantly behind his challenger Joe Biden from the Democrats. However, only the US Congress can postpone the election date, which is legally set to November 3. Since the opposition Democrats have a majority in the House of Representatives, a move is considered highly unlikely.
