Trump and first lady Melania Trump arrived together at a polling station.
US President Donald Trump voted in Florida’s midterm elections on Saturday, saying he had supported Republican candidates across the ballot before heading to Georgia for a campaign rally.
Because of term limits, in Florida, Trump has endorsed Republican Representative Byron Donalds in the race to succeed Governor Ron DeSantis, who cannot seek another term. Donalds is facing David Jolly, who has moved from the Republican Party to independent politics and later joined the Democratic Party. Trump has also campaigned for Republican Senator Ashley Moody, who is seeking election to the final two years of former Senator Marco Rubio’s term. Moody faces progressive state lawmaker Angie Nixon in the contest.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump arrived together at a polling station at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections office in West Palm Beach. The president had spent the morning at a nearby golf course before casting his vote.
