Donald Trump urged voters Monday in Pennsylvania to vote early in the crucial swing state. Then, he quickly reversed course.
Early voting, the former president said, is “stupid” — even if it might help him as polls show him in a close race with Vice President Kamala Harris.
“We’re here today because early voting begins in Pennsylvania over the next two weeks, and we need each and every one of you to go out,” he told the crowd in Indiana, Penn. “Just don’t take anything for granted.”
Trump’s contradictory statements about what has become a common method of voting throughout the U.S. — and now embraced by many Republicans — reflects his hatred of a practice he says is vulnerable to fraud and helped cost him the 2020 election.
