    Former President Donald Trump cast his vote in the Florida primary.

    The Florida primary is being held on Aug. 20, but early voting began on Aug. 10. Trump faces no challengers in the presidential primary after former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley dropped out in March. She has since endorsed the former president.

    Trump spoke with reporters briefly at the polling station, bemoaning the state of crime and immigration under the Biden administration.

    Trump has previously been doubtful of early voting, but changed his opinion this election and has endorsed the practice, encouraging other Republicans to start doing the same.
