▲ President Trump votes early alongside Melania Trump
U.S. President Donald Trump cast an early ballot in Florida yesterday (October 24), local time, ten days ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
On the afternoon of October 24 local time, President Trump cast his vote alongside his wife, Melania Trump, at a polling station in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Speaking to reporters at the polling place, President Trump was asked about voters' corruption concerns and asserted that there is massive corruption on the Democratic side, mentioning Minnesota, Maine, and Los Angeles.
He added, "You have to look at the real corruption. That is the corruption of the Democrats, and that includes the Jeffrey Epstein case, and every Democrat is involved."
This is seen as an attempt to turn the criticism back on the Democratic Party, even as President Trump himself has faced suspicions regarding ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Trumps maintain their official residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
The early vote yesterday came as President Trump travels across the country to campaign in support of Republican candidates.
Amid assessments that conditions such as a war with Iran and high inflation are disadvantageous to the Republican Party, President Trump has been actively encouraging the Republican base to vote early to boost turnout in this midterm election.
While Trump also cast an early ballot in Florida during the 2020 presidential election, he visited the polls with Melania Trump on Election Day in the 2024 presidential election.
In March of this year, he voted by mail in a Florida House special election.
