US President Donald Trump after voting in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Sestriere:
US President Donald Trump voted early Saturday in the US election as he prepared for another grueling day of campaigning ahead of the November 3 vote.
Trump, who follows Democrat Joe Biden in the polls, voted at a library serving as a voting center in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He has a house in this state and changed his residence last year from his native New York.
“I voted for a guy named Trump,” he said with a smile as he emerged.
During the vote, he wore a mask, which is rare for the president, who has played down the pandemic.
Nearly 55 million Americans have now voted early because the coronavirus has made in-person voting more problematic.
“It was a very safe vote. Much safer than when you send a ballot, I can tell you that,” said Trump, who insists without giving evidence that postal voting leads to fraud.
“Everything was perfect, very strict, according to the rules. When you send out your ballot it could never be secure like that,” he said.
Trump is leading a frenzied last-minute race to catch up with Biden in the final days of the race, with rallies scheduled for Saturday in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, all battlefield states.
“You’re going to be very busy today, because we’re going to be working hard,” Trump told reporters traveling with him.
