In a report for Meet the Press NOW, NBC News Campaign Embed Jake Traylor examines Republicans embracing early voting despite former President Trump's past complaints over the legitimacy of mail-in ballots.
At practically every Donald Trump rally, scripted words encouraging early voting get loaded into the teleprompter. But those words are rarely the actual message the former president delivers to his audience. The Republican National Committee has embraced early voting in 2024. Trump has promoted it in recordings the GOP played at its convention and in ads distributed around the country, as well as in copies of his prepared remarks at rallies.
'This election cycle, President Trump, the RNC, and our campaign have been clear to voters: Vote early,' Karoline Leavitt, Trump's national press secretary, said in a statement. Still, the inconsistency of Trump’s early voting messaging has led many of his supporters toward cynicism and confusion around the topic. “I don’t think there should be early voting,” Bob Breneman, a Trump supporter from Pennsylvania, said in an interview.
