Trump raises possibility of delaying the election

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Thursday raised the possibility of delaying the nation's Nov. 3 presidential election, though the Constitution bestows that power on Congress, not the president.

The move drew immediate objections from Democrats and it was not clear whether Trump was serious. Trump also said he would not trust the results of an election that included widespread mail voting - a measure that many election observers see as critical given the coronavirus pandemic.
