He shared that he had returned to Florida late the previous night after holding four rallies, adding, “I hear we’re doing very well.”

"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," said Trump.

"Something happened. And this was the best, I would say this was the best campaign we ran," he added.

Trump expressed that he is "very confident" in the election's outcome, “We have a great country, but we have a country that’s in trouble. It’s in big trouble in many ways, and we have to straighten it out.”

Kamala Harris awaits results at Howard University



 

Kamala Harris is preparing for election results at an election watch party at Howard University, her alma mater in Washington, DC.

She will be joined by her running mate Tim Walz at the historically Black university, where Harris studied political science and economics.

In an interview on November 5 with 'The Big Tigger Morning Show' in Atlanta, Harris reflected on her journey, recalling, “The first office I ever ran for was freshman class representative at Howard University.”

She noted it would be a “full-circle moment” to win the presidency, with her supporters cheering her on at her former campus.

Joe Biden and Barack Obama urge Americans to ‘make history’

President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the presidential race in July to back Kamala Harris, encouraged Americans to vote, posting, “Go vote” on X (formerly Twitter).



 

Biden had faced increasing calls to step aside after a challenging debate performance against Trump in June, which ultimately led him to support Harris’ bid.

The 81-year-old politician hopes voters will “make history” by electing her as his successor.

Former president Barack Obama also urged Americans to head to the polls in what he called a “razor-thin race” that could be determined “by a handful of votes” in each precinct.
