唐纳德·特朗普总统在一段预录视频中呼吁共和党人参加中期选举投票，称美国选民应该使用“所有合适的投票工具”，其中包括他历来反对的提前投票和邮寄投票方式。
“如果你的州有提前投票制度，不要等待，快去投票，”特朗普在周六上午发布到其Truth社交账号的视频中说道。“提前投票、邮寄投票，或是在选举日当天现场投票。”
特朗普此番表态引人关注，因为他多年来一直批评邮寄投票，并在第二任期伊始就推动限制邮寄投票，尽管其中多项举措已被法院驳回。
此番表态之际，特朗普的中期选举战略高度依赖动员其基本盘选民，而非说服未表态选民支持共和党候选人。
“这本质上就是一场动员投票的博弈，”一名共和党竞选团队官员上月告诉CNN。“从第一天起，竞选委员会和总统的政治运作团队就一直在共享数据，确保我们精准打击需要动员的目标群体。”
美国最高法院上月驳回了多项大范围限制措施，这些措施本会改变中期选举前邮寄给选民的选票发放规则。此前州选举官员警告称，他们没有足够时间落实总统今年3月发布的一项行政令中提出的相关条款。
特朗普随后在社交媒体上发表长篇回应，称美国的邮寄投票系统是一场“‘灾难’，是全世界的笑柄，我们是唯一一个不得不忍受这种破坏国家的骗局的国家”。
总统还积极推动国会通过《拯救美国法案》以限制邮寄投票，这项联邦选举改革法案在参议院遭到两党反对。
尽管特朗普 falsely声称邮寄投票存在大规模舞弊，但他本人却一直在通过邮寄方式投票，包括今年3月佛罗里达州众议院特别选举中的投票。
这并非总统首次在选举临近之际发表与自身此前言论相悖的投票方式相关表态。2024年，特朗普的竞选团队发起了“ swamp The Vote USA”活动，推广缺席投票、邮寄投票和提前投票。他在周六的视频讲话中也提到了这一活动。
CNN已联系白宫，就该视频以及这是否标志着总统在提前投票和邮寄投票问题上的观点转变寻求置评。
距离中期选举还有一个月，已有超过100万张选票提前投出。在今年秋季将举行参议院或州长席位关键选举的多个州，目前申请邮寄选票的选民中民主党人所占比例，较2024年同期更高。

近年来，民主党人在选举日之前提前投票的比例要高得多。

Trump advocates for mail and early voting despite historically opposing both

President Donald Trump said Americans should cast their ballot using “every appropriate tool,” in a pre-recorded video imploring Republicans to vote in the midterm elections, including using methods that he has historically opposed like early and mail voting.
“If your state has early voting, do not wait. Go out and vote,” Trump said in the video posted Saturday morning to his Truth Social account. “Vote early, vote by mail, or vote in person on Election Day.”
Trump’s message is notable because he has criticized mail-in voting for years and pushed to limit it since the start of his second term, though many of those efforts have been blocked by courts.
It comes as Trump’s midterm strategy has relied heavily on turning out his base, and less so on persuading undecided voters to support GOP candidates.
“It’s all a turnout game,” a GOP campaign official told CNN last month. “From day one, the campaign committees and the president’s political operation have been sharing data to make sure we’re hammering the exact people we need to turn out.”
The Supreme Court rejected sweeping restrictions last month that would have changed how mail ballots are sent to voters in advance of the midterm elections. The decision came after state election officials warned that they did not have enough time to enact the provisions that stemmed from a March executive order the president issued.
Trump issued a lengthy reaction on social media responding to the decision, labeling the country’s mail-in voting system a “‘disaster,’ which is a laughing stock all over the World, and where we are the only country that has to endure such a Nation Destroying SCAM.”
The president has also aggressively pushed Congress to enact restrictions on mail-in voting through the “SAVE America Act,” a federal elections overhaul bill that has met bipartisan opposition in the Senate.
Despite falsely claiming that mail-in voting has resulted in extensive fraud, Trump has continued to vote by mail himself, including in a Florida state House special election in March.
It’s not the first time the president has contradicted his own comments about voting methods in the lead up to an election. In 2024, Trump’s campaign launched “Swamp The Vote USA” to promote absentee, mail-in and early voting. He referred to the program in his video message Saturday.
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment on the video and whether it marks a shift in the president’s views on early and mail voting.
With one month before the midterms, over one million ballots have already been cast. In several states with key Senate or governor races this fall, Democrats make up a larger share of voters requesting ballots so far than they did at this point in 2024.

In recent years, Democrats have been much more likely to vote prior to Election Day.
