CNN special correspondent Jamie Gangel didn’t sugarcoat President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court setback, tracing it straight back to his refusal to accept the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

The court ruled 5-4 Monday in Watson v. Republican National Committee that states may count mail ballots postmarked by Election Day even if they arrive afterward, rejecting an RNC challenge Trump’s Justice Department had backed. Trump called it a “tremendous loss.”<\/p>\n

Gangel agreed it was a loss, but said Trump brought it on himself.<\/p>\n

“So, is this a loss for President Trump? Yes,” she said. “But big picture, he’s obsessed with this. It is sort of a loss of his own making, because the underlying problem here is he doesn’t want to admit he lost in 2020, so he’s looking for fraud and corruption where there isn’t.”<\/p>\n

She noted the practice isn’t partisan \u2014 Trump himself has voted by mail \u2014 and said it’s “not about corruption or fraud.”<\/p>\n

Gangel said his fixation is holding up a major bipartisan housing bill aimed at reining in costs, which she said had reached his desk, but that he won’t sign it because he’s so focused on curbing mail voting and passing his stalled election overhaul, the SAVE Act.<\/p>\n

In the Oval Office moments earlier, Trump said the housing bill “hasn’t been sent to me yet” but was “coming.” Next to his voting bill, he said, “just about everything is a big yawn.”<\/p>\n

The decision set off fury among MAGA allies and came as the justices also turned away his E. Jean Carroll appeal.<\/p>\n

Former Trump aide Hogan Gidley pushed back, calling the housing measure “a political win” the president would “take a victory lap” on.<\/p>\n
