Trump uses federal aid money to warn Michigan, Nevada on poll voting method

Trump's threats drew an immediate sharp response from Democrats, who alluded to impeaching the president for his threats to withhold aid from Ukraine if that country did not help his reelection effort

President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to hold up federal funds for two battleground states because they are trying to make it easier to vote during the coronavirus pandemic.

The president's tweets targeting Michigan and Nevada were his latest salvo against voting by mail, a practice that he has publicly worried will lead so many people to vote that Republicans will lose in November.

Trump began by targeting Michigan, erroneously describing Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's announcement Tuesday that she would send absentee ballot applications to every voter in the state.
