Donald Trump supports letting Congress vote remotely during coronavirus pandemic

President Trump said he’d be in favor of letting members of Congress vote remotely during the coronavirus crisis.

“I would be in favor of it. I was thinking of it today,” he told White House reporters.

Mr. Trump said there may be constitutional barriers to overcome in doing it, though said it’s becoming a necessity as two House members battle infections and Sen. Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican, reports a positive test.

“You could have a lot of people there, from Congress,” he said. “I would be totally in favor of it from a temporary basis.”
