Donald Trump cast his ballot Tuesday
near his New York home, in a historic election pitting him against
Democrat Hillary Clinton, who is seeking to become America’s first woman
president.
After casting his vote in the basketball
court of Public School 59 Beekman Hill International, the Republican
presidential nominee quipped to reporters that it was a “tough decision”
to make his voting choice.
Outside the polling station, at least a
hundred people gathered on either side shouted “New York hates you!”
before a huge media presence as Trump entered and exited.
There were also rival cheers, including
from about half a dozen construction workers doing work on the street
and wearing hard hats with Trump Pence stickers.
“We’ll see what happens,” Trump said
when asked whether he would concede if the election were called for
Clinton following a bruising, often nasty campaign.
“It’s looking very good. Right now it’s
looking very good. It will be an interesting day. Thank you,” Trump
added at the rowdy polling station, where crowds chanted slogans in the
background.
Accompanying him were his wife Melania, his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner and the couple’s daughter Arabella.
Earlier, two unidentified topless women
were escorted out of the same polling station, shouting “out of our
polls, Trump!” NBC4 News reported.
