Trump praises Supreme Court’s mail-ballot order as win for Republicans

The Supreme Court issued an emergency order that allows the current administration to move forward with an executive action directing the U.S. Postal Service to decide which voters receive mail-in ballots. The same order also instructs the Department of Homeland Security to create a database of eligible U.S. citizens. In a briefing, White House correspondent Liz Landers queried the implications for states like North Carolina, where mail-ballot distribution is slated to begin soon.

Trump replied that the ruling is a great win for the Republican Party and highlighted his electoral victories in the state. He reiterated his support for the decision despite his earlier criticism of mail voting. The administration’s plan could influence upcoming elections by shaping ballot access.
