In an interview with CNN broadcast on Friday, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi discussed President Donald Trump’s recent suggestion to delay the November election, The Hill reported.
While railing against mail-in voting, Trump argued that the election needs to be postponed in order to protect public health and safety amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“The reason he does it is because the more people hear something like that, the more they’re discouraged to vote,” Pelosi told anchor Brianna Keilar.
“It’s a way to suppress the vote.”
Pelosi pointed out that Trump proposed delaying the November contest on Thursday, right before civil rights icon John Lewis’ funeral.
“At the same time as we are burying a hero of voting rights, our democracy, he goes out and says something beneath the dignity of the White House.
