Former President Trump intends to vote on Election Day despite previously indicating that he planned to vote early. In a radio interview with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade last week, Trump said he planned to vote early, but expressed some hesitance. "I'm very mixed on it," Trump initially said when the host asked about early voting. "I say the main thing I say is vote." As the interview wound down, Kilmeade told Trump he "could vote early and set an example if you wanted to in Florida. That would be an interesting decision."

"I'm very mixed," Trump responded, citing "the old standard of the Tuesday vote." but he continued, "The main thing is you got to get out, you got to vote. And I'll be voting early." However, a source familiar with his schedule disclosed Trump plans to vote Tuesday morning near Palm Beach, Florida.
