President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump cast their early ballots for the 2026 midterm elections on Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections office in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to both the New York Post and the Associated Press.

What happened

The Trumps arrived together at the polling location after the president spent the morning at his nearby golf course. After voting, Trump proceeded to a campaign rally in Georgia, where he told reporters the experience strained his voice.

What the reports add

The New York Post reported that Trump described the act of voting as “a strain on your voice” and noted his comment that he was campaigning for other people, not himself. The Post also mentioned his praise for Ohio Sen. John Husted and his possible return to South Carolina after a recent visit to the state. The Associated Press focused on the fact that Trump said he voted for all Republicans in Florida before speaking at the Georgia rally and highlighted his arrival with Melania after a morning at the golf course.

What was said

"It’s a strain on your voice. It’s a strain. You know, it’s not normal, what I’ve done," Trump told reporters after voting, as reported by the New York Post.
"I’m campaigning for other people, some of whom I don’t know," he added, also cited by the New York Post.
The Associated Press noted that Trump said he voted for all Republicans in Florida before heading to the Georgia rally.

How it came about

The early voting trip follows a wave of early‑voting events across the country, including the "No Kings" rallies on Oct. 17 that encouraged early participation, as covered by Felo News on Oct. 17. Earlier in September, Felo reported on Virginia’s launch of early in‑person voting for the 2026 midterms, reflecting the broader national push to increase early turnout.
