Kaitlan Collins Calls Out Trump's Mail-In Voting Hypocrisy by Playing His Own Words on CNN

Описание: On August 25, 2026, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins used The Source to cover the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling allowing Trump to move forward with key parts of his March executive order restricting mail-in voting for the 2026 midterms. Collins played a supercut of Trump calling mail ballots "corrupt" and a "disaster," then noted he had voted by mail in Florida's Republican primary on August 19, just six days earlier. Republican election lawyer Ben Ginsberg told Collins that Trump, quote, "under the Constitution, doesn't have the authority to do this," and that "Congress never delegated the authority to say who can vote, not vote, to the United States Postal Service."

CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig described the court's action as a temporary procedural ruling that did not resolve the underlying constitutional question. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, writing that the majority was focused on a technicality while ignoring the administration's broader goal of fomenting "chaos ahead of the November elections." Ginsberg also warned that Republican blowback may follow, noting older voters rely heavily on mail ballots.
