Trump headed for Arizona, one of the top 2020 battleground states, to press his case against his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, painting him as radically left and out of the political mainstream.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced he would “suspend” his initiatives until after the election “to avoid even the appearance of impact on election mail.”

The amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on Aug. 18, 1920, but many women of color were prevented from casting ballots for decades afterward because of poll taxes, literacy tests, overt racism, intimidation, and laws that prevented the grandchildren of slaves from voting. Much of that didn’t change until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The report from the Republican-led panel lays out significant contacts between Trump associates and Russians, describing for instance a close professional relationship between Trump campaign chairman Paul Mananfort and Konstantin Kilimnik, whom the committee describes without equivocation as a Russian intelligence officer.

Trump has flatly denied he was asking for a slow-walk of the mail. But his newly-installed postmaster, a Republican donor with no previous postal management, is facing pressure by Democrats to halt any changes as millions of Americans prepare to vote by mail during the COVID-19 crisis. Demonstrations are being held Tuesday in several cities.

The U.S. Postal Service is expected to play a central role in this year's presidential elections, but a series of cost-cutting policies at the agency has some staffers worried.

The president thanked Wisconsin voters for helping him win the White House in 2016.

With many of the usual staples of presidential campaign politics scrapped because of the pandemic, this fall's debates between President Trump and Joe Biden likely will take on outsized importance.

Democrats and some Republicans say actions by the new postmaster general, a Trump ally and a major Republican donor, have endangered millions of Americans who rely on the Postal Service to obtain prescription drugs and other needs, including an expected surge in mail-in voting this fall.

President Donald Trump confirmed Monday that he will deliver his Republican National Convention nomination acceptance speech from the White House next Thursday.

The lawsuit alleges that Trump and DeJoy are trying to ensure the postal service cannot reliably deliver election mail.
