THE NARRATIVE

President Donald Trump is aggressively working to undercut public confidence in the November general election by stoking baseless concerns about voter fraud as he continues to struggle through one of the lowest points of his presidency.

The familiar yet startling attacks on a pillar of democracy come amid a resurgence of the coronavirus under Trump’s watch that forced Vice President Mike Pence to cancel upcoming campaign stops in Florida and Arizona and pushed several Trump-allied Republican governors to scale back reopening efforts.

THE BIG QUESTIONS

Is the president’s focus on (nonexistent) voter fraud already de-legitimizing the election?

Trump has the world’s most powerful megaphone, and he’s increasingly using it to undercut the legitimacy of his own country’s election system.

Wasn’t the warm summer air supposed to kill the coronavirus?

Just two months ago, Trump offered a bold prediction: “Maybe this goes away with heat and light. It seems like that’s the case.”

Will Trump’s fireworks at Mount Rushmore help?

Always eager to embrace made-for-TV shows of strength, Trump is planning a massive fireworks display at Mount Rushmore on Friday. In so doing, he is pushing past a decade-old ban on pyrotechnics in the South Dakota national park that was instituted to help reduce the risk of forest fires.

How visible does Biden need to be this summer?

Biden’s team has repeatedly dismissed calls for him to play a more active role on the campaign trail in the midst of the pandemic, and a growing body of polling evidence suggests that the low profile paid off. But how long can it continue?

Last week I received my application for a mail in ballot

Butler county in Ohio had over 300 ballots disqualified for being delivered late by the US Postal Service. They were postmarked by the April 27th deadline, but delivered after the May 8th deadline. So much for mail-in voting. The Ohio Secretary of State, a republican, said maybe we need more than 2 weeks for mail delivery. No! We need in person voting in November.
