Two of Donald Trump's kids won't be voting for him in the New York primary
Turns out, both Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump forgot to register to vote in time for New York's April 19 primaries.
Donald Trump admitted in a Monday interview with Fox News that "because of the rules," he'll only be winning a vote from one of his three kids who live in New York.
"[Eric and Ivanka] were, you know, unaware of the rules, and... they didn’t register in time," Trump said Monday on Fox & Friends, referring to the New York Board of Elections' rule that requires that changes in party enrollment be submitted by Oct. 9, 2015 — several months before the state's April 19 primary. "So they feel very, very guilty."
