Clinton posted her angry comment on Twitter after she apparently mischaracterised the words of Trump’s son-in-law Kushner, who said it was not up to him to decide on the date of the presidential election.
A White House advisor, Avi Berkowitz, spoke in defence of Jared Kushner on Wednesday, explaining that former secretary of state Hillary Clinton had misunderstood his comments on a possible election delay, Fox News reported on Wednesday.
Kushner responded to a question about whether the US 2020 election, scheduled for 3 November, could be postponed due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, saying that he was not the one to make that decision. “I’m not sure I can commit one way or the other, but right now that’s the plan”, he replied.
The newspaper, however, did not include what Kushner said afterward, Fox News added.
Democrats’ fears of an election delay might have been fueled by former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who raised the issue despite President Donald Trump’s assurances that the vote would take place as scheduled.
Biden became the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee after he swept most of the later primary elections and competing candidates pulled out of the race.
