WASHINGTON — President Trump told campaign and RNC staff he was predicting a huge win on Election Day and said he was feeling great despite looking a little tired, his voice hoarse after an exhaustive five rallies late into the night on Election eve.

“I think we’re going to have a great night, we’re going to have a great night, and we’re going to have, much more importantly, we’re going to have a great four years,” he said during a visit to the Republican National Committee’s headquarters in Arlington, Va.

In a husky voice, the president thanked his campaign staff and said he believed he was going to unite the country.

“Everybody should come together,” he told reporters when asked what his message was to Americans that voted for opponent Joe Biden.

“I think success brings us together,” he went on, touting his economic record which included a recent record 33 percent GDP growth. “Success is going to bring unity.”

While the race has tightened in key swing states, Democratic challenger Joe Biden has consistently led in nationwide polls with approximately half of the country disapproving of the president’s handling of the surging coronavirus crisis which has so far killed 231,000 Americans.

While the commander-in-chief was predicting victory on Tuesday evening, he did uncharacteristically float the idea of losing and becoming a one-term president.

“I’m not thinking about a concession speech or an acceptance speech yet. Hopefully, we’ll be only doing one of those things,” he said.

“You know winning is easy. Losing is never easy, not for me it’s not,” he went on, before claiming that his raucous rallies were a sign of “tremendous love” and “tremendous unity” in the United States despite the fact that they were typically only filled with his supporters.

Trump’s appearance in Arlington, where he was joined by campaign manager Bill Stepien, chief of staff Mark Meadows and press secretary Kayleigh McEnany could be the final speech of his re-election campaign with no other events on his schedule for the rest of the day.

On Election Night, he will host a party for hundreds of staff, supporters, friends and family in the White House East Room, shifting a planned celebration at his Trump International Hotel due to coronavirus restrictions in Washington, D.C.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden spent Tuesday morning zig-zagging across the must-win state of Pennsylvania, visiting his childhood home in Scranton, Pa., with two of his granddaughters and the church where his late son, Beau Biden, is buried.

The president also railed against the Supreme Court’s decision to allow officials in the Keystone State and North Carolina to continue accepting ballots for several more days, calling it “dangerous.”

“The whole word is waiting. This country is waiting,” he said. “We should be entitled to know who won on November 3rd.”

An outcome may take several extra days to determine given an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots amid the pandemic.
