Pelosi: November elections 'must' go on as scheduled

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that Democrats "must" ensure that President Trump doesn't try to delay the November elections, a day after presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden issued a similar warning.
"I know there's a danger and people are scared, but we must and we will," Pelosi said during an interview on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" when asked about the possibility of there being an attempt to delay the Nov. 3 elections if there is a resurgence of the coronavirus outbreak.
Pelosi said that she hoped that any attempt to move back the elections would be a bridge too far even for Republicans.
"[Trump] has done a lot to undermine who we are as America, but the fact is, we cannot allow him to do that to our democracy. That will not happen. And God willing, maybe some Republicans might even stand up for our country, our Constitution, and our democracy, as well. I think they will," Pelosi said.
