Trump Votes by Mail in Florida GOP Primary Amid Calls for Stricter Voting Rules
US President Donald Trump voted by mail in Florida's 2026 Republican primary despite previously criticizing mail-in voting as prone to fraud. Voting records show he requested and returned a mail-in ballot in July and August. Trump endorses Congressman Byron Donalds, the leading candidate to replace term-limited Governor Ron DeSantis. Trump supports the SAVE America Act, which aims to tighten election rules by requiring photo ID, while his spokesperson noted the bill allows exceptions for mail-in voting in specific cases.
