Are Biden’s Allegations About Trump Postponing the 2020 Elections “Made-Up Propaganda”?
During a news conference in the White House Rose Garden, Trump addressed this accusation by saying that he "never thought of changing the date of the election."
According to a pool report about an online campaign event, Biden shared his thoughts that Trump might try to "kickback the election somehow" through a scheme that involved making up an excuse as to why the elections must be delayed. He said, "That's the only way he thinks he can possibly win."
November Elections a Reality
Biden also criticized Trump for blocking emergency funding for the U.S. Postal Service, which would have to deal with tens of millions of ballots this November during the elections. Biden was convinced that this was proof that Trump was attempting to undermine the election and make it so that voters would have a hard time this coming fall.
Earlier this month, Trump posted a series of tweets saying mail-in voting was easily corruptable, and a terrible idea.
Biden's response to this was, "Imagine threatening not to fund the post office."
His latest allegations about Trump have come from an interview with a U.S. disease expert earlier this month.
Two weeks ago, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci stated in a CNN interview that in order to guarantee that the American people would be safe to participate in the presidential elections this November, "standard ways" must not be adopted.
Emergency health decrees may be able to reschedule voting for the primaries in a party, but this does not work for the presidential elections.
The U.S. Constitution states that a president must be reelected if they were to remain in office beyond a four-year term. Additionally, Election Day is already set for the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November." This must happen in the fourth year after each election of a President and Vice President.
This would make it difficult for Congress to push back the elections in the case of a second wave of the pandemic.

Some Sanders Supporters Not Keen on Voting for Biden, Says Poll
Former presidential candidate and fellow Democrat, Bernie Sanders endorsed Biden earlier this month. The latter suspended his campaign and urged his supporters to support Biden moving forward.
Biden may have Sanders' endorsement, but according to a poll by USA Today and Suffolk, over 22 percent of Sanders supporters did not want to vote for the former vice president this coming November.
The survey was conducted on April 21-25, with 638 participants interviewed by telephone operators. Of that number, 60 percent claimed they are not very or not at all excited for Biden's nomination.
Sanders' endorsement took place weeks after new allegations about Biden's sexual assault cases surfaced. A former aide in Biden's Senate office, Tara Reade, claimed she was sexually assaulted by the presidential candidate in 1993. This was enough for Sanders supporters to call on Biden to drop out of the elections entirely.
There were other charges filed by six different women last year regarding Biden's sexual misconduct, which are all being denied by his campaign.
