Melania Trump joins Donald to vote in the Florida Republican primaries and says ... trends now
Former President Donald Trump cast a primary ballot for himself in the Florida primary Tuesday during a rare political appearance with former first lady Melania Trump by his side.
Trump stopped and took reporters' questions after voting in West Palm Beach near his Mar-a-Lago home, sporting a sticker proclaiming he had voted.
He quickly brushed off a question about his former vice president, Mike Pence, refusing to endorse him by invoking the events of January 6, days before Trump saluted January 6 defendants and called them 'hostages' at a campaign rally.
'I couldn't care less,' Trump said of his former governing partner.
