President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump voted in person at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections office on Saturday, Oct. 24; the couple arrived at 3:58 p.m., Trump told reporters "everything is good," and he wore an "I Voted" sticker after casting his ballot. Asked whether he voted along party lines, Trump replied "Very much so," according to The Associated Press. The president's motorcade left the polling location at 4:36 p.m. and arrived at the airport three minutes later as he prepared to travel to Perry, Georgia, for a campaign rally. Trump has previously used mail-in ballots in Florida, voting by mail in a March special election and in August's Republican primary, even as he has criticized mail-in and early voting and called early voting "stupid" on the campaign trail. Early voting in Palm Beach County for the Nov. 3 general election began Oct. 19 and is scheduled to continue through Nov. 1, according to the county Supervisor of Elections office. The Nov. 3 elections will determine whether Republicans retain control of Congress during the final two years of Trump's presidency.
