Former President Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that he voted for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, predicting a “big night” for Republicans.
“Yes, I did,” Trump told reporters when asked if he voted for DeSantis outside a polling place in Palm Beach, where he voted. “I think we’re going to have a great night and it’s exciting,” he added.
Trump voted shortly after 11:30 am ET at the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, just minutes from his Mar-a-Lago property, where he plans to watch the election results tonight with dozens of aides. allies, and local republicans.
He arrived with former first lady Melania Trump and briefly answered questions outside after voting indoors.
The former president’s political future may largely depend on Tuesday’s midterm results as he seeks to have his handpicked and endorsed candidates in key federal and state races prevail.
Big losses for Trump-backed candidates could create obstacles for his 2024 presidential campaign, which Trump plans to announce in a week’s time.
At a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Trump referred to the Florida governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious.”
