Overview
- The White House confirmed that President Trump will cast an early ballot in Florida this weekend as part of his final campaign swing ahead of the midterms.
- His schedule includes a Friday rally in Fort Myers, an overnight stay at Mar-a-Lago, and subsequent campaign events in Georgia and Michigan.
- White House spokespeople have defended the president’s past use of mail ballots by citing exceptions in the SAVE America Act for illness, disability, military service, or travel.
- Those defenses come as Trump continues to criticize universal mail-in voting while having used absentee or mail ballots in recent Florida primaries and a Palm Beach special election.
- Vice President JD Vance also cast an early ballot while campaigning in Ohio, illustrating a coordinated GOP push to combine in-person rallies with early-vote turnout strategies.
