This level of hypocrisy is shameful, but not surprising, friends.
President Trump just requested mail-in ballots for Florida's election – right after launching his latest all-out war on mail-in voting due to "election safety" concerns. The double standard isn't just appalling, it's an outright lie and act of voter suppression.
When we have fair elections, Democrats show up, vote and win. That's why the president is lying about the existence of voter fraud in mail-in ballots. That's why he's intentionally dismantling the Postal Service at a moment when it's never been more critical. And that's why he's threatening to delay the election too.

This kind of voter suppression undermines American democracy – and I'm worried it could cost us our House majority in November. The president has proven that he’ll do anything it takes to defeat us in Florida, including launching a bus tour with its first stops here in the middle of a pandemic.
The election is less than three months away, and voters will start mailing in their ballots even sooner (if the post office isn't forced to shut down because the GOP refuses to fund it). We're running out of time to protect the Postal Service and the strong Democratic House majority that a Biden-Harris administration will need to bring home the battle for the soul of our nation.

Right now, we’re just 56% of the way to our fundraising goal – and tomorrow is primary day in Florida. It's never been more important that we have a strong showing, friends: Falling short could be the difference between protecting our House majority and handing the GOP another vehicle for their dangerous policies.
