'Just stop talking about that': Trump snaps at reporter at polling place press conference

During an impromptu press conference at his West Palm Beach polling location, Donald Trump snapped at a reporter for pressing him on how he voted on one of Florida's most controversial ballot initiatives.

At issue is Florida's Amendment 4, which would prohibit any law that would "penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient's health, as determined by the patient's healthcare provider. This amendment does not change the Legislature's constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion."

The former president has lately avoided saying how he would vote on the initiative, after saying in late August that he would vote against it, in an apparent attempt to avoid antagonizing or energizing either side of the highly contentious issue of women's health care rights with his re-election on the line.

"You guys know this," he told the hosts. "Usually the Democrats bank a bunch of votes in early voting and they're ahead and republicans can't catch up. A lot of mail ballots in Clark County -- and we've become a state where mail is big -- have not come in yet, and those are heavily Democratic."

"They've been 2 to 1 in the last few polls," he elaborated. "You have to trust what's happened in the last four presidential cycles here, which is the so-called Reid machine, named for the late [Democratic Sen.] Harry Reid, to get out the vote, not just in people mailing their ballots, but dropping them in drop boxes today on election day."

"There are going to be tens of thousands of those, I believe," he predicted. "I think Harris will just eke it out, but it's going to be close."
