The supreme court rejected Donald Trump's mail ballot restrictions, allowing states to continue sending out mail ballots.

Garcia added these remarks while praising the supreme court's decision to reject Trump's mail ballot restrictions.

“Donald Trump is a known liar. This is the biggest liar to ever serve in government, period. And look, the dividend is not happening. He promised a dividend on tariffs; that didn’t happen. He promised the dividend on Doge; that didn’t happen. He promised some strange dividend from Air Force One six months ago; that never happened.”

Garcia called Trump a known liar and said the dividend would not happen at a press conference near the convention centre.

“There’s no one in the country that thinks somehow this new dividend is actually going to happen. What the American people want is the president to actually focus on lowering the costs of gas, groceries and expand healthcare. The president has done the opposite. He’s made everything more expensive, and so he needs to stop lying and actually get to work.”
