Leader Schumer Floor Remarks Calling Out Trump’s Attempts To Block Mail-In Voting And Escape Accountability From Voters

Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor calling out Donald Trump's desperation to avoid accountability from voters by begging the Supreme Court to block mail-in voting. Below are Senator Schumer's remarks, which can also be viewed here:

Trump's desperation to avoid accountability at the polls this November grows every passing day.

Yesterday, Trump begged the Supreme Court to help him block mail-in ballots in every corner of the country.

Hey Donald: did you also tell the Court that you yourself voted by mail just a few months ago?

Everyone knows that mail-in voting is safe and secure, and apparently so do you.

It's absurd. Trump is pleading for the highest court in the land to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote using the same method he used to submit his ballot earlier this year.

We all know why. Trump sees the writing on the wall for November and thinks he can escape accountability from voters.

Trump knows just how bad of a bind he's in.

Trump can't defend the crippling costs working families see every time they go to the grocery store or the gas pump.

Trump can't defend the rampant corruption that has allowed his family to make billions of dollars off the American people.

And Trump can't defend the unrelenting chaos he's unleashed in American streets.

But Trump can't defend himself from Americans' wrath at the ballot box in November either.

Senate Democrats are working around the clock to make sure every eligible American voter can cast their ballot without interference, intimidation, or obstruction.

You can hear it in every lawsuit, executive order, and desperate plea to the Court: Trump is afraid of the voters - not of voter fraud.
