Biden votes early, slams Musk's election spending

In Delaware, where the president is from, residents can vote for three days before the official election day (November 5). Biden appeared at the Wilmington office in the morning, standing in a line of about 50 people. Among the voters was a man wearing a red cap with a vulgar slogan urging people to vote for Trump.

After casting his vote, Biden received applause and answered reporters' questions. When asked about Elon Musk's initiative, offering millions of dollars to voters in key states in exchange for signing a political petition, he called it "completely inappropriate." The district attorney in Philadelphia has already filed a lawsuit over this issue, and the federal prosecutor warned Musk that he might be violating election laws.

Biden was also questioned about the situation involving North Korea sending thousands of soldiers to Russia, likely to support the fight against Ukraine. The president stated that this is "very dangerous." He also criticized the alleged secret talks between Trump and Putin. "The very idea that Kamala's (Harris) opponent is talking to Putin and discussing what should be done..." Biden said incredulously, leaving his thought unfinished.

Journalist Bob Woodward wrote in his book "War" that Trump had secretly spoken with Putin several times after leaving the White House. Trump's team and the Kremlin denied these reports, and Trump only said he would not comment on it, adding that if he did talk to Putin, it would be a "smart thing."

Biden is one of over 44 million Americans who have already taken advantage of early voting. Sixty million people have applied to use this form of voting, both in person and by mail.

In the 2020 election, which occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, 101 million of more than 150 million voters participated in early voting. These numbers are likely to be lower this time, even though both parties encourage early voting. In 2020, Republicans discouraged their voters from this form of voting.
