Donald Trump: This was the best of my three campaigns

Former US President Donald Trump has cast his vote in the state of Florida.

He arrived at the polling station in Palm Beach with his wife Melania Trump, CNN reports.

"I feel very confident" in my victory, Trump said on Election Day.

"I hear we're doing very well everywhere," he added.

He said it was the "best" of his three campaigns.

"It won't even be close. But certification is going to take a long time," the Republican candidate noted.

Trump went on to lament how long it would take to tally the results, given that "they spent all this money on machines." He pointed to the French election as an example of a quick election.

The former president has repeatedly used the long wait to count ballots sent by mail as a way to sow doubt about the fairness of the election.

However, he announced that he would concede defeat "if the elections are fair." | BGNES
