Florida: Donald Trump feels “very confident” about winning back the White House, the Republican said Tuesday after casting his Election Day ballot in Florida in one of the most contentious US elections in decades.
“I feel very confident,” Trump told reporters at a voting facility in West Palm Beach, adding he believes he “ran a great campaign” against his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. Opinion polls show the race is a dead heat.
“We want to bring everybody in, we want to be very inclusive.”
“We have a great country but we have a country that’s in trouble … we have to straighten it up.”
“It looks like Republicans have shown up in force, so we’ll see how it turns out.”
“I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three. We did great in the first one, we did much better in the second one, but something happened. This was the best, I would say this was the best campaign.”
“I was honored to get Joe Rogan last night. Joe Rogan is a very big deal.”
“Of course there’ll be no violence. My supporters are not violent people. I don’t have to tell them that. And I certainly don’t want any violence.”
Trump said he would have a very special group of people gathered at Mar a Lago and 4,000 or 5,000 at the convention center.
“I think we’re going to have a very big victory today.”
Trump calls Oprah, who came out in support of his rival Harris, a great divider. “I think Oprah’s become a major divider in our country, and I think, frankly, she should be ashamed of herself.”
“If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election … I’d be the first one to acknowledge it.”
Musk plans to spend election night with Trump
Elon Musk plans to spend election night with former US President Donald Trump, giving Trump direct access to the person controlling one of key information platforms on what could be a chaotic evening.
Musk, according to three people with knowledge of his schedule, plans to be at Mar-a-Lago for some of the evening festivities in Palm Beach, Florida.
He will be among a small group watching the returns with Trump as they come in, according to two people with knowledge of the plan.
