Trump Urges Republicans to Vote by Mail After Years of Criticism
Original: mail
Donald Trump called on Republicans to vote by mail, reversing his long-standing criticism of the practice, according to The New York Times. The former president had repeatedly claimed mail-in voting was prone to fraud, and his shift is being read as an effort to make sure his supporters do not cede an early-voting advantage to Democrats in upcoming elections.
Why now: Trump's reversal on a voting method he spent years attacking is a notable political about-face with implications for election strategy.
