Trump voices regret over Supreme Court picks following mail-in voting ruling

US President Donald Trump expressed regret over his appointments to the Supreme Court during an interview with Time magazine, stating, "I got them the job of their life, and they often vote against me." Although Trump noted that he values loyalty, he clarified after additional questioning that he does not expect it from judicial nominees.

The remarks coincided with a Supreme Court ruling that rejected an effort by the Trump administration to introduce tighter mail-in voting rules prior to the midterm elections. The decision offered relief to Democratic lawmakers who had contested the proposed restrictions. In a separate development, Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth proposed that Elon Musk assist in researching the future of warfare.
