- President Donald Trump cast a mail ballot in a recent Florida special election, confirmed by The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections noting his registration at Mar-a-Lago.
- Trump has repeatedly characterized mail-in voting as "mail-in cheating" while advocating for the SAVE America Act, maintaining the system allows "commonsense exceptions" for illness, disability, or travel.
- White House Spokesperson Olivia Wales defended the action as a "non-story," explaining Trump utilized an exception because he was "away mostly in Washington" during the election period.
- Amid a Department of Homeland Security shutdown, Trump pressured Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, urging them to "TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER" to advance voting legislation.
