Leader Schumer Floor Remarks After SCOTUS Blocked Trump’s Plot To Restrict Mail-In Voting & Rig The Midterms

Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor after the Supreme Court blocked President Trump's plot to restrict mail-in voting and rig the midterm elections. Below are Senator Schumer's remarks, which can also be viewed here:

Last night, even Trump's MAGA Supreme Court shut down his unconstitutional plan to restrict mail-in voting and rig the November elections.

Donald: you lost another one, and you know it's bad when even your MAGA Supreme Court can't defend you because your behavior is so egregious and so damaging to our democracy.

Trump's plan was a desperate attempt to screw around with vote-by-mail and smother the voices of millions of Americans - all to avoid accountability at the polls.

I wonder if Trump told the Court he's voted-by-mail twice this year as he fought to rip it away from the American people.

Trump's scheme was so on-the-nose, so un-American, so flagrantly unconstitutional that the MAGA Court had no choice but to make the right call.

A MAGA Court, I'll add, that has done Trump's bidding too many times.

Let this be a reminder to Trump that there's no hiding from the American people. You're losing the election because you've been such a bad president and fixing the election is not going to work because there are too many force[s] that are trying to stop it.
