White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows pushed back against a suggestion from President Donald Trump that the Nov. 3 Election Day should be suspended due to the potential threat of voter fraud amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“[The president] has not looked at delaying any, any election. What we will do is if we try to transform this and start mailing in ballots all across the country, all 50 states, what we will see is a delay because they’re just not equipped to handle it,” Meadows told CBS News on Sunday.
