Democrat Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, defined President Donald Trump as a “hypocrat” and reproached him for engaging in an action he previously condemned.

In a conversation with some members of the media, the Brooklyn congressman criticized the president for voting by mail in the special election held in Florida, a position completely contrary to the Republican's own views.

“For years, Donald Trump has been harshly criticizing mail-in voting, only to then vote by mail in the special election held in Florida. It's behavior fit for a king,” he said.

Before his return to the White House, the New York businessman opposed mail-in voting and repeatedly, without any evidence, claimed that it was one of the methods used in the past to commit a voter. fraud.

However, his stance changed, and seeing that this was one of the ways he received popular support to defeat Kamala Harris in November 2024, he now supports continuing with this voting method for citizens interested in going directly to the polls.

In fact, the nation's leader voted by mail in a special election for a state legislative seat representing Palm Beach County, where his Mar-a-Lago residence is located.

Ultimately, Trump's vote, as well as his endorsement of Republican Jon Maples, did not prevent him from being defeated by Democrat Emily Gregory, who won the special election in what represents a major setback for conservatives heading into the midterm elections.

Another point of criticism from Hakeem Jeffries directed at Donald Trump stems from his push for the passage of the Safeguarding Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.

a set of stricter election rules that would require citizens to present identification to vote.

“This is a matter of states' rights. What happened to the days when Republicans actually supported states' rights? These people are hypocrites,” the Democrat emphasized.
