WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Thursday walked back the notion of delaying this year's election, arguing that he was attempting with a tweet hours earlier to draw attention to potential problems with the widespread use of mail-in ballots.

"Do I want to see a date change? No," Trump said. "But I don't want to see a crooked election."

Trump drew bipartisan derision Thursday for questioning in a tweet whether the November presidential election should be delayed over concerns about voting during the pandemic. Congressional Republicans bluntly rejected the idea and Democrats accused the president of attempting to sow doubt if the election doesn't go his way.

"What will happen in November – it's a mess," Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday. "I want a result much, more more than you...I don't want to be waiting around around for weeks and months."
