    We’ve had elections during a war before and we can do it again. Ukrainian laws don’t apply to the US.

      Yeah, the law pertaining to not holding elections during martial law in Ukraine was created during another person’s presidency as well. He didn’t make that. (It stemmed from Russias invasion into Ukraine in 2014, law made in 2015). Zelensky didn’t become president until 2019.

      If the war was closer or even inside the US, it might be a different thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could still consider it though.
