US election 2020: Donald Trump joins a record 53 million early voters by casting ballot in Florida

President Donald Trump cast his vote in Florida on Saturday, joining a record breaking total of 53 million Americans in casting an early ballot ahead of the November 3 election. 

The president voted in person at West Palm Beach, near his Mar-a-Lago estate, after switching his permanent residence and voter registration last year from New York to Florida, a must-win battleground for his re-election bid.

The election could be on track to see the highest voter turnout in more than a century, according to data from the U.S. Elections Project. With just 10 days to go until the election, Mr Trump is due to hold campaigning rallies in three swing states later on Saturday.

Democratic rival Joe Biden and his wife Jill also will hit the campaign trail, traveling to the vital battleground of Pennsylvania for two events on Saturday.
