Kavanaugh Throws Trump 'Lifeline' on Mail Ballot Rules Amid Post-Ruling Midterm Elections Push
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has thrown President Donald Trump a lifeline by potentially allowing the USPS to implement his mail-in ballot rules despite a recent Supreme Court loss before the midterm elections. The decision doesn't guarantee that the rules will be reinstated, but leaves the door open for future action.
Brett Kavanaugh threw President Donald Trump a 'lifeline' by not ruling out the possibility of USPS implementing Trump's proposed mail ballot rules despite losing a Supreme Court case before the midterms, according to reports. Kavanaugh's dissenting opinion suggested that the postal service may still be able to implement such rules without violating federal law. The move gives Trump some relief on the eve of the midterms, but critics argue it undermines election security and voter trust. Kavanaugh's comments are seen as a temporary reprieve for Trump, who had been facing pressure over the issue.
