Donald Trump submits absentee ballot for Florida Republican primary

Donald Trump submitted an absentee ballot for the Florida Republican primary, with voting records indicating the ballot was returned on Aug. 13. The primary, scheduled for Tuesday, will select the party's candidates for the state's governor and U.S. Senate contests. Trump, whose official residence is at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, has long denounced mail-in voting, citing alleged fraud in the 2020 election.

In the gubernatorial race, Rep. Byron Donalds is projected to secure the Republican nomination despite facing several challengers. For the Senate nomination, Sen. Ashley Moody is expected to win comfortably.
