Top Senate Republicans said the November presidential election will not be delayed after President Donald Trump floated the idea.

“Never in the history of the Congress, through wars, depressions, and the Civil War have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time and we’ll find a way to do that again this November 3rd,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who regularly diverges from the president, said in an interview with WNKY.
