Former President Donald Trump cast his early voting ballot for the Florida primary on August 14, despite his persistent criticism of early and mail-in voting. Trump, voting in Palm Beach, emphasized his campaign's enthusiasm and reiterated his goal of securing elections with one-day voting and paper ballots. This move comes even as Trump faces legal challenges, including a conviction on 34 counts in a Manhattan trial, but he remains eligible to vote and run for the 2024 presidential election. Early voting in Florida ends on August 17, with the primary scheduled for August 20. Despite questioning the reliability of early voting, Trump has encouraged his supporters to vote by any method available. The Republican National Committee continues to promote early voting among its base through various outreach programs.
