Democratic Rep. John Garamendi called President Trump's comments on mail-in voting “a horribly dangerous game.”
Earlier today, Trump voted in person in Florida, saying that his chosen method was "much more secure." Experts says cases of mail-in voting fraud are very rare in the US. In March, Trump voted by mail in Florida’s primary election.
“He’s playing a horribly dangerous game, bringing into doubt the sanctity of the American election,” Garamendi told CNN. “Putin could not be happier … And now Iran is also piling on. And the President is simply there helping them along the way.”
“Mail-in ballots are a secure, safe and appropriate way to vote,” he added.
Garamendi also said that Biden has laid out a plan on tackling the coronavirus pandemic. The US recorded a record number of new Covid-19 cases on Friday.
“Unfortunately, the President is going exactly the opposite direction, bouncing around the country, spreading the virus. It's unconscionable, but it is his reality, and his reality, unfortunately, is that we're going to live with the virus and all of the deaths,” he said.
