2024 election live updates: Voters head to the polls as Trump, Harris get 1st results in Dixville Notch
Trump votes in Palm Beach, Fla.
Former President Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump cast their ballots Tuesday at the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, Fla.
Speaking to reporters, Trump expressed confidence in the day’s turnout.
“I feel very confident,” he said. “We went in with a very big lead today, and it looks like Republicans have shown up in force, so let’s see how it turns out.”
Reflecting on his campaigns, Trump shared that the 2024 race was his strongest yet.
“I think it was maybe the best of the three,” he said.
When asked about potentially declaring victory regardless of results, Trump responded, “I don’t know what’s going to happen,” adding, “If it’s a fair election, I’d be the first one to acknowledge [the results].”
He continued, “It looks like we have many more Republicans voting today than Democrats, so we have a lead. If you have a bigger vote, that means you’re doing very well. But they have to call a winner — and they should call a winner.”
Sen. JD Vance cast his vote early Tuesday morning in Cincinnati.
Local journalists captured footage of the Republican vice presidential candidate at his polling station exchanging brief greetings with voters in line.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump is expected to also cast his vote today, in Palm Beach, Fla.
