Trump Votes Early

President Donald Trump cast an early ballot in Florida on Saturday, saying he voted for Republican candidates across the ticket before traveling to a campaign rally in Georgia.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump voted at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections office in West Palm Beach. Asked whether he had voted along party lines, Trump replied, “Very much so.” Florida contests include the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis and a Senate election for the remaining two years of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s former term.

With voting set for November 3, Trump said Tuesday that he would respect the midterm results “if they’re honest elections,” according to The Hill. Democrats have raised concerns about his election rhetoric, including his statement that he was “watching closely.”

Trump also defended his administration’s lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska’s Senate result if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses. The dispute concerns the inclusion on the ballot of another candidate also named Dan Sullivan. Alaska is among several closely contested Senate races as Democrats seek control of Congress.

All 435 House seats and 35 of the Senate’s 100 seats are being contested, along with governorships in 36 states. Republicans currently hold narrow majorities in both congressional chambers, while election analysts cited by Deutsche Welle expect Democrats to have a strong chance of winning the House.
