Fox News editor: Trump election delay idea is ‘flagrant expression of his weakness’
Fox News politics editor Chris Stirewalt thinks President Donald Trump may have made “a tactical error” with his suggestion to delay the 2020 election.
The journalist, who has called out Trump before, noted how the United States had successfully staged elections during the Civil War, World War II and previous pandemics.
“The idea of an incumbent to suggest we would delay an election now while he is power is of course totally out of character with all of his predecessors,” he continued. “It’s a sort of a flagrant expression of his current weakness.”
“A person who is in a strong position would never, never suggest anything like that,” Stirewalt added. “So Trump may be making a tactical error here by further telegraphing his weak position in the polls and his weak position for reelection.”
