Trump raised the idea of postponing the election, which was opposed by members of both parties in Congress;

After that, the proposal was opposed by senior members of the Democratic Party, and the Democrats even "shelled" trump for not being able to do so.

One question: what does trump really want to do?

According to the US White House platform website, later that day, trump said at the White House epidemic reporting conference, "I don't want to postpone the election. I want to hold an election, but I don't want to wait for three months and then find that all the votes have been lost. If so, the election will have no meaning.".

Previously, trump repeatedly claimed that mailing votes would lead to "fraud.".

Trump has no right to postpone the election.

Critics, even Trump's allies, say he is not serious, just to distract attention from the devastating market economy news, but some regulatory professionals warn that Trump's repeated attacks could undermine his supporters' confidence in the electoral process.

Trump, without evidence, repeated his term for mail vote fraud, so he suggested delaying the election.

Democratic Representative Zoe Lofgren, chairman of the house and Senate committee that oversees election security, has refused to accept the postponement.

First of all, trump attacked the postal ballot because it was in the Republican Party's favor. Historically, Democratic voters may not vote on the spot for various reasons, resulting in a lower percentage of liberal voters than Republican voters.

Second question: does trump have the right to postpone the general election?

The U.S. presidential election is different from the primary elections in major states.

Even if the house and Senate reach an agreement to postpone the presidential election in 2020, it is still unclear when people will be able to "vote safely.".

According to NBC news, even if Congress agrees to change the date of the election, Trump's term of office will end on January 20, 2021, according to the 20th amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Trevor Porter, former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, said, "all preparations need to be completed before January 20, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult for Congress to postpone the election. The time is too tight.".

At present, the house of Representatives is dominated by Republicans, and the house of Representatives is dominated by Democrats. Therefore, it is almost impossible for Congress to reach a decision to postpone the general election.

Mark meadows, chief of staff of the White House, said Sunday that the United States will hold a general election on November 3. Earlier, Prime Minister trump had hinted to postpone the election and expressed concern about mailing votes.

Trump also referred to US media reports about the potential lateness of postal ballots, saying it could take weeks, days or even years to solve the problem.
