Donald Trump is feeling ‘confident’ after casting his vote in Palm Beach, Florida despite polls showing the race between him and Kamala Harris is virtually tied. After casting his vote, the 78-year-old who was accompanied by his wife Melania took questions from reporters with just hours until the polls close. Trump answered several questions and reacted to reports of chaos at the polling stations around the nation. He also wore an ‘I voted’ sticker. ‘It is crazy,’ the former president said. ‘I am just hearing in certain states it is going to be a long time.’ He specifically mentioned Pennsylvania, the battleground state that could decide the winner.Polls show the race there is tied. ‘I’m hearing in Pennsylvania they won’t have an answer until two or three days from now. I think it’s an absolute outrage if that’s the case,’ Trump noted. ‘In certain states it is going to be a long time and it won’t even be close. It won’t be that close. They say I will win the state but it will take a long time to certify it.’ He argued if more Republicans than Democrats voted he should be declared the winner. There is no way to know if Republicans voted for him or an alternative. ‘It looks like we have a very substantial lead. It looks like we have many more Republicans voting today than Democrats. If you have a lead and we have a bigger vote that means you are doing very well. They have to call a winner. And they should call a winner, yes,’ he said. But he said he would concede if he lost a ‘fair’ election. ‘If it’s a fair election I would be the first one to acknowledge it if I lost. And so far I think it’s been fair,’ he said. Trump, on the campaign trail, has indicated he doesn’t trust the voting process and could challenge the results if Harris wins. ‘I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three. We did great in the first one, much better in the second one. Something happened. And this was the best — I would say this was the best campaign we ran,’ he said. Trump conceded no matter the result of the presidential race it would be his last campaign. ‘I would think so,’ he said, adding he feels ‘sad and very fulfilled.’ ‘I would think we are going to have a very big victory today,’ Trump noted. The former president also slammed Oprah Winfrey for endorsing Harris, saying he has been on her show and ‘she has been to Mar-a-Lago many times.’ He also sounded confident of a victory. Over the country – I hear it’s all red, he said. We went in with a very big lead. We just have to keep it. I hear it’s beyond that. It’s a movement. There hasn’t been a movement like this. We will turn this country around. Melania said a quick word to thank the staff. A great job. Thank you so much for your support. It was hard work, I know. It’s hours to hours. I know how hard my husband is working. Nonstop. Thank you for all of your support. Great job, she told them.The post Donald Trump votes with wife Melania, says he’ll win a ‘big victory’, appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
