WATCH: Trump Enters His Campaign HQ To Roaring Applause After Casting Ballot
Former President Donald Trump visited campaign headquarters in Palm Beach County, Florida after casting his Election Day ballot.
The former president, who was wearing a signature red “Make America Great Again” hat, entered the campaign office to a roaring round of applause from staffers. He then proceeded to congratulate campaign workers for all their hard work, just hours after holding 10 swing state rallies over the course of just three days.
“It’s too early to congratulate, but we are hearing it’s record kind of numbers. Caroline, do you want to just tell them what you told me a little while ago?” the former president said while motioning to campaign official Karoline Leavitt.

“Sure, yeah. Enthusiasm is very high. We’re seeing our voters are turning out, especially in rural areas across the country, and we see Democrat areas are not turning out as great as our people. So your people are ready, and they’re turning out for you, sir,” Leavitt answered.
Before visiting the campaign office, Trump took questions from reporters after casting his ballot in Palm Beach.
“Will you tell your supporters that there should be no violence?” asked one reporter.
“I don’t have to tell them that. That there’ll be no violence. Of course there’ll be no violence. My supporters are not violent people. I don’t have to tell them that. And I certainly don’t want any violence, but I certainly don’t have to tell them,” the former president replied.
“These are great people. These are people that believe in no violence. Unlike your question. You believe in violence.”
Republicans have shattered early voting records in Florida. As of 9 a.m. local time on Election Day, Republicans hold a 22-point advantage in the state that was still viewed as a fringe battleground in 2020.
