Trump criticizes Supreme Court ruling on mail ballots

President Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court on Tuesday after it blocked a new U.S. Postal Service rule from taking effect for the November midterm elections. The ruling prevents the rule from being used while election officials argue that there is not enough time to implement it. In a Truth Social post, Trump said the decision was a setback for Republicans and claimed it would make mailballot cheating easier. He also attacked several of the justices who joined the majority, while praising Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas for dissenting. The case matters because Republicans are trying to keep narrow majorities in both chambers of Congress in the upcoming elections. A separate opinion from Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the Postal Service rule could still be legal later, but not in time for the 2026 vote.
