The GOP spent millions supporting mail ballots. Now Trump's attacking them again. [View all]

Donald Trump’s renewed crusade against mail voting is once again threatening to undermine his party’s efforts.

Republicans poured tens of millions of dollars last year into convincing their voters that casting ballots by mail was safe after Trump spent years bashing the practice and baselessly insisting it was rife with fraud. And it worked, with GOP voters closing or even reversing the mail voting gap with Democrats in several states.

But now Trump is attacking mail voting again as he ratchets up his push to protect Republicans’ House majority in the midterms, scrambling a strategy Republicans effectively used to bank millions of votes in 2024. The president said Monday he wants to “lead a movement” to eliminate “corrupt” voting by mail ahead of the 2026 election and suggested he would sign an executive order to help do so. While he cannot unilaterally end mail voting — election laws are set at the state level — his renewed criticism could sow early seeds of doubt in the electoral process should the GOP lose in the midterms.

And it’s creating some whiplash for Republicans.
