Says hes not sure this years election will be honest, and hes falsely claiming tonight that mailin voting is a whole big scam. Well, the president s new attack on the integrity of the election comes just one day after he refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses in november. Well, today, in a direct rebuke of the president , the u. S. Senate, led by republicans, unanimously passed a resolution reaffirming its commission to a peaceful transition of office. And tonight, republican congressional leaders are distancing themselves from the rying to ca comments. And while President Trump is once again trying to cast doubt on ballots cast by mail, his own f.
