00:00We begin with the news with the U.S. The Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump's
00:04bid to restrict mail ballots for the November midterm elections, ruling in favor of a coalition
00:09of states that sought to block the U.S. Postal Service from implementing parts of the President's
00:15executive order. Lower calls agreed to block Trump's plan, but the Trump administration
00:19appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that federal control of the Postal Service allows
00:24them to set rules for mail ballot handling. The recent rejection at the top court represents
00:30a stark defeat for Trump on an issue he consistently has emphasized as vital to ensuring election
00:37integrity, having done oppose mail voting and falsely blame it for his 2020 election loss
00:42to Joe Biden. The decision allows states to continue sending out mail ballots on the same
00:47processes they've used for years.
