– Former President Donald Trump unwittingly extended the 2024 presidential campaign by two months and, in doing so, dejected political reporters everywhere.
Speaking in Oaks, Pennsylvania on Monday night, Trump boasted of the gains he has made among some Black and Hispanic voters in his campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris.
“And I’ll tell you what,” Trump said. “Our poll numbers have gone through the roof with Black and Hispanic– have gone through the roof. And I like that. I like that. I like that.”
The crowd cheered, and Trump urged them to vote two months after election day, which this year is Nov. 5.
“So we’re gonna take care of it, you and me,” he added. “I’ll tell you, if everything works out and everybody gets out on January 5th, or before. You know, it used to be, you’d have a date. Today, you can vote two months before, probably three months after. They don’t know what the hell they’re doing. But we’re gonna straighten it all out. We’re gonna straighten that out, too. We’re gonna straighten out our election process, too. That’s gotta be important also.”
Trump has railed against early and mail-in voting, though he appears to have softened his language on those methods for now. In 2020, the former president cast doubt on the validity of mail-in ballots in particular. But now his campaign has been encouraging his supporters to vote early and via mail.
Polls indicate a tight race, though if some Trump supporters wait to vote until Jan. 5, Harris may be in good shape.

Ouch. That is so sad. Can’t wait for those election to be over so he can be put out of his misery and crawl back in his cave and get the rest he needs. Being old is not easy.

Never correct your enemy when he’s making a mistake.

I agree they should vote January 5th not in November.

There’s a non-zero chance his people have been discussing action on January 5th (again) and he got it stuck in his head that’s the the big day.

I fully support his position that his followers should all wait until Jan 5th to cast their votes.

Can you imagine if Biden said this? The media would have sworn he is suffering from dementia.

If anyone else had done this, I would attribute it to a simple misspeak, such as Obama’s fifty-seven states thing from years back. But because it is a dementia-addled old coot who is chronically confused about where he is and what year it is, this is just another symptom of what we know.
