As New Yorkers headed to the polls Tuesday to vote in the state primary, candidate Donald Trump also cast his ballot here in the city.

The Republican candidate — who lives with wife Melania at the top of the gleaming Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue — voted Tuesday morning at Central Synagogue in Midtown, according to ABC News. 

"Putting in that vote today was really something terrific," he told the news outlet.
