Trump, a New York native who has lived there for many years, recently moved his residence to the southern state.
The president voted at the polls in the West Palm Beach area, and after the vote he told reporters who came to the venue that "there were no complications, it was a very safe vote. I can tell you it was much safer than sending a vote by mail."
To date, some 30 million people across the United States have voted early.
The president, who questioned the safety of voting by mail, added that "everything was perfect. Very strict, by law. When you send your vote in the mail, it can not be equally safe. They have done a fantastic job here, there are great people here. It is an honor. It is a great honor to be in this area, which I know so well. "
When asked who he chose, the American president replied, "I voted for a guy named Trump."
Trump also said he intends to attend three political conferences.
Shortly after voting at the polls, Trump tweeted on his Twitter account: "I just voted, great honor!".
Florida, with 29 electors, is considered a key state for winning the presidency in every election.
For Trump, it is especially important, because if he loses it, his way of staying in the White House will be significantly reduced.
JUST VOTED.
A great honor!
