The former US president Donald Trump has cast his ballot in Florida after he arrived at the voting precinct in Palm Beach with his wife, Melania Trump, CNN reports.

Speaking to the press after casting his ballot, Trump said he is “very confident” he will win the election and that “it won’t even be close,” while expressing frustration that it may take a while to call the results.

“I feel very confident,” Trump said. “I hear we’re doing very well everywhere.”

He added that this was the “best” of the three campaigns he ran.

“It won’t even be close,” Trump said. “But it’s gonna take a long time to certify.”

Trump continued to complain about how long it would take to tally up the results given that “they spent all this money on machines,” citing the French election as an example of a quick election.
