Story summary

President Donald Trump, in a shift from previous statements, is now urging supporters to vote by mail ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. This comes despite his past claims about widespread voting fraud, particularly related to absentee ballots. Speaking to reporters at the White House and during campaign rallies, Trump said that while he prefers in-person voting, those who wish can vote by mail if they desire. The change in stance was noted as Republican candidates face challenging poll numbers; a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Trump's approval rating at 32%, with registered voters preferring Democrats over Republicans 44% to 37%. Trump continues his campaign push for Republican candidates, holding rallies such as one scheduled for Nebraska.
