"
I voted for a guy called Trump,
" the president announces to reporters after putting his ballot in the ballot box.
Donald Trump was in a library in Palm Beach, Florida to cast his early vote, joining more than 50 million Americans who have already voted, as permitted by law.
But the president took the opportunity to criticize once again the
postal vote,
the reliability of which he often questions.
“
My vote went well, much safer than when you send your ballot by mail
,” he said.
Everything was perfect, very strict, respecting the rules.
When you send your newsletter in the mail, you can't be sure.
"
Wearing a mask and a flaming pink tie, the president also said he was confident about the outcome of the election.
Even if the
polls
still give him the lag against Joe Biden. "
There is a lot of excitement,
he said.
I think we are very well in Florida, and that we are doing very, very well everywhere else.
"
Ten days before the poll, the president intensifies his meetings.
This Saturday 24 in the afternoon, he goes to three different states: North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin.
