Donald Trumps children feel very, very guilty that they wont be voting for him in New York
In an appearance on Fox & Friends Monday morning, Donald Trump was asked about the fact that two of his five children, Ivanka and Eric Trump, are not registered to vote as Republicans in their home state of New York. Trump acknowledged this means they will not be able to vote for him in New Yorks Republican presidential primary on April 19.
Records from the New York State Board of Elections show that neither Ivanka Trump nor Eric Trump is enrolled in a political party, a fact that was first reported by Yahoo News on April 4.
They had a long time to register, and they were, you know, unaware of the rules, and they didnt they didnt register in time. So they feel very, very guilty. They feel very guilty, Donald Trump said. But its fine. I mean, I understand that. I think they have to register a year in advance and they didnt, so Eric and Ivanka, I guess, wont be voting. (Yahoo News found that, in addition to the fact they are not Republicans, both Ivanka and Eric Trump have donated money to Democratic candidates and committees.)

Oh the irony. He wants to run a nation, and doesn't even get his kids to register on time.

OP
I figured as much. People move too often for such an overly-long deadline . . .

But please fix your subject line as Mr. Trump's son is not named Erica!

I'm still working on the original registration I filed when I moved into my present home, 29 years ago.
(I'm curious to learn the particulars of New York registrations. I doubt potential voters have to file a year in advance -- which would put it before their father publicly announced his intention.)
