President Donald Trump sharply criticized the U.S. Supreme Court after the justices rejected his administration's effort to implement new restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, accusing the court of making a "horrible" decision and warning that the ruling would make election fraud easier.
In a lengthy statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump argued that the Supreme Court's decision represented a setback for election security and criticized the justices who did not support his administration's position. He specifically praised Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, the two members of the court who dissented from the ruling.
