Why is Trump now encouraging mail-in voting?
US President Donald Trump spent years claiming mail-in voting is corrupt, but he is now encouraging people to use it. Al Jazeera correspondent Noor Wazwaz explains the shift.
US President Donald Trump, who has spent years claiming that mail-in voting is corrupt, is now encouraging voters to use it. Al Jazeera correspondent Noor Wazwaz examines this change of message in a video report for the international news network.
The source material is a short video, and its description gives no detail on when or in what setting Trump made his latest remarks, or what arguments he used. Only two facts can therefore be stated: the president long questioned the integrity of voting by mail, and his message on the subject has now changed.
The report aims to explain why a politician who has long criticised mail-in voting is now backing it. The detailed explanation is provided by the correspondent in the video itself.
