Barron Trump absent as Donald and Melania forged their election votes in Florida
Barron Trump was absent as his parents Donald and Melania Trump cast their ballots in Florida on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old was missing at the polling station at the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach.
It is not known if or when Barron, who can legally cast his ballot for the first time, has cast his vote.
Trump told reporters outside the polling booth he felt ‘very confident’.
Barron was last seen heading from New York to Florida with mom Melania Trump on Sunday ahead of his father’s election party in Mar-a-Lago.

The family were spotted with a mass of Louis Vuitton branded luggage and suit clothing covers bearing the presidential emblem as they set off from Trump Tower on Sunday.
They were escorted by a motorcade of ten vehicles as they made their way to a New York airport and flew out around 4.30pm.
Trump, sporting a red MAGA hat and ‘I voted’ button, appeared confident the party would not be going to waste after casting his vote.
‘It seems that the conservatives are voting very powerfully,’ Trump said. ‘It looks like Republicans have shown up in force.
Asked if he had any regrets about his campaign, Trump responded, ‘I can’t think of any.’
‘I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three.
‘We did great in the first one. We did much better in the second one but something happened. I would say this is the best campaign we’ve run,’ he said, standing next to his wife.
Barron has played an integral part in his dad’s campaign by helping to connect with Gen Z voters.

The youngest son of the former president has not appeared regularly by his father’s side at his rallies across the country, but has played a behind-the-scenes role in getting former President Donald Trump to appear on podcasts favored by Gen Z and millennial men, ABC News reports.
Barron first suggested his father appear on YouTuber and wrestler Logan Paul‘s podcast, Impaulsive, and sure enough the podcast was the first one Trump appeared on back in June, an insider with the campaign told the outlet.
Trump, 78, has since gone on to appear on a number of other podcasts, and even sat down with popular podcaster Joe Rogan on Friday.
His efforts have seemed to pay off, with each podcast that Trump has appeared on garnering millions of views – not counting clips from the podcasts being viewed on social media.

The presidential hopeful revealed his son had been counselling him in the final days of the election.
‘Dad: take it easy, now. You just take it easy dad, alright? You don’t have to go too much here. He gives me good – he’s very wise,’ Trump said Barron told him.
