Trump, Who Once Called Early Voting ‘Ridiculous,’ Casts a Midterm Ballot
The president voted at a polling station in Palm Beach County, Fla.
What the coverage shows
All four outlets focus on Trump voting early in Florida, and all note the contrast with his past criticism of early voting. The New York Times headlines the irony most directly, while South China Morning Post and CNN both explicitly frame it as a reversal or shift in stance. CBS News is the only one to mention the first lady voting too and adds that Trump left afterward for a rally in Georgia.
