Based on reporting by South China Morning Post:
US President Donald Trump cast his ballot for the midterm elections in Palm Beach on Saturday, choosing to vote early in Florida, which is described as his adopted home state.
At rallies held before Election Day on November 3, Trump has been encouraging Republicans to vote early. This represents a change in stance from a practice he has previously criticized, as he aims to rally the party's base in an election that puts their control of Congress at risk.
When questioned by reporters regarding whether he voted according to the party line, he responded that he had done so "Very much so."
Previously, the president had frequently questioned the safety of early voting procedures, asserting without providing evidence that mail-in ballots, drop boxes, and other methods utilized during the 2020 presidential election—which he lost—were employed to manipulate the vote.
