Donald Trump cast an early ballot in Florida for the U.S. midterm elections, according to reporting from three supplied sources. The South China Morning Post said the vote took place in Palm Beach, while identifying November 3 as Election Day.

The vote was cast in Florida, which the supplied reporting describes as Trump's adopted home state. The exact polling location was not identified in the available material.

The early ballot marks a contrast with Trump's previous public criticism of voting by mail or voting early. PBS NewsHour and the South China Morning Post both report that he has criticized those methods in the past.

The South China Morning Post reports that Trump has instead been urging Republicans at rallies during the current election cycle to vote early. Its account presents that appeal alongside his own decision to cast a ballot before Election Day.

Asked whether he voted for the party line, Trump replied, “Very much so,” according to the South China Morning Post. The available reporting does not specify which individual races or candidates appeared on his ballot.

The supplied evidence identifies the reporting as dated October 24, 2026, but does not separately establish the precise time of the ballot event. It confirms the early vote and the broader change in Trump's stated approach to early voting, while leaving the ballot's individual selections unspecified.
