Bipartisan lawmakers push back on Trump's idea of delaying 2020 election
WASHINGTON, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Bipartisan lawmakers pushed back at U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday after he raised the possibility of delaying the election in November.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell threw cold water on the idea directly.
"Never in the history of the country, through wars, depressions and the Civil War, have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time," McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, told a local TV station in response.
