How Trump Is Spending Election Day

President Donald Trump concluded his midterms campaign on November 2nd with a speech at the Lincoln Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC. Following weeks of rallies across the country, the President is expected to spend Election Day at the White House as polls indicate his party may face a difficult night. On Monday afternoon, Trump delivered a final speech at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, highlighting his Administration's achievements while criticizing Democrats as "extreme and dangerous."

The President also attended nine virtual tele-rallies to support Republican candidates nationwide, marking the culmination of extensive campaigning. On Tuesday, Trump is expected to remain at the White House, while states across the nation tally election results. Election night is anticipated to extend into the early hours, with the earliest polls closing in West Palm Beach, Florida, at 6 p.m. Eastern, and the final polls in Alaska closing at 1 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday.

The President, accompanied by his First Lady Melania Trump, cast their ballots early in person in West Palm Beach two weeks prior. Trump urged his supporters to vote as if he were on the ballot, as Republicans worry about a lower turnout compared to Democrats. Recent polls suggest Democrats leading in key Senate battlegrounds, including Michigan, Texas, Ohio, and Kansas.

However, the investigation by the Trump administration into election administration in certain states could delay key election results. The DOJ has sought to overturn a ruling on a potential challenge to Alaska's U.S. Senate election, while also requesting the removal of 20,000 mail-in ballots claimed to have been provided to noncitizens.

Despite these efforts, federal judges have consistently rejected the DOJ's claims. Trump has hinted at laying the groundwork to claim voter fraud if Republicans underperform in the midterms, though he has stated he will respect the election results only if the elections are deemed honest.
