Trump went on to say that he had heard his party is “doing very well,” adding that he feels “very confident” about the election results. Claiming that the results “won't even be close,” the ex-prez said that he went into Election Day today “with a very big lead.” “It looks like Republicans have shown up in force, so we'll see how it turns out,” he added.
The former president then noted that the election results should be “over by 10 pm.” However, he singled out Pennsylvania, saying that it is “an absolute outrage” and could take two or three days for the result to be declared. The GOP nominee is all set to watch the results from his Mar-a-Lago home, asserting that he has a “substantial lead.”

When asked about whether he has told his supporters not to engage in violent behaviour, Trump said, “I don't have to tell them that. Of course, there'll be no violence. My supporters are not violent people.” He also said that he “would think” that this is his last presidential campaign.
