Now, Trump rows back on the idea of postponing the election, as per USA Today. However, the president still raises doubts on the expansion of mail-in voting systems in some states as another way to respond to the coronavirus.

The president tweeted that he does not want to see a date change, but he pointed that what he doesn't want to happen is to see a crooked election.

On Thursday, Trump told reporters at the White House that he wanted to have an election, but he does not want to wait for three months to find out that the ballots are missing and the election will be worthless.

Trump reiterated the possible problems with mail-in ballots. He noted that such problems with they system are arriving late for mail-in ballots and could take weeks, months, or even years to sort the results.

"Do I want to see a date change? No, but I don't want to see a crooked election," the president said.

Trump garnered different feedback from his tweet regarding the idea of delaying the presidential election. The bipartisan ridiculed the idea of the postponement over the concerns about voting during the pandemic, including the unproven assumption that mail-in ballots would result in election fraud.

Meanwhile, the Congressional Republicans rejected the idea and the Democrats accused Trump of attempting to sow doubts on the election because it doesn't go the way he wants it to go.

Though Trump rows back, he did not foreclose if he will continue pushing for a delay in voting. However, the idea given by the president still needs approval from Congress.

Trump has simultaneously slammed the effort to expand mail-in voting. "What will happen in November - it's a mess," the president said. "I want a result much, much more than you...I don't want to be waiting around for weeks and months."

Meanwhile, Trump called on lawmakers to approve the extension of unemployment benefits. The Republicans embraced the idea on Capitol Hill, but it met resistance from Democrats. The two parties are struggling negotiating another round of stimulus to address the harmful effects the pandemic caused in the economy.

"We want a temporary extension of expanded unemployment benefits," Trump said. "This will provide a critical bridge for Americans who lost their jobs to the pandemic through no fault of their own," he added.
