Latest news and results as voters head to the polls to vote for Harris, Trump
At his final campaign rally of the 2024 cycle, Trump sowed uncertainty about the upcoming ballot counting process, again asserting that paper ballots are safer and more efficient.
“Well maybe it will take these machines that we pay so much for two weeks. Can you believe it?” Trump said. “You know, have you used very highly sophisticated watermark papers, very simple. It’s more sophisticated than the machines.”
Finishing his speech in the early hours of Election Day, Trump set expectations for the results of the race and projected he has a 95% chance of victory. The former president has routinely claimed that he is winning in all states, despite polling pointing to that claim being patently false. Trump also said he’s leading by hundreds of thousands of votes already.
Trump also hurled insults at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., stopping short of calling her a b—-, but still mouthing the “b” sound, cutting himself off after muttering into the mic.
“She’s a crooked person,” he said. “She’s a bad person, evil. She’s an evil, sick, crazy, b- — oh no. It starts with a ‘B,’ but I won’t say it. I want to say it.”
When speaking about recent jobs reports, Trump said that migrants have taken 100% of newly created jobs. “Went to migrants, not people,” he added.
After a judge ruled that Elon Musk’s America PAC can keep writing checks to voters as part of his $1 million-per-day giveaway, Trump said, “He won the big case today too. He won the case.”
Trump spoke at length about the first attempted assassination against him. He described the speed of the bullet, conversations with his doctors, and retold the story, for an extensive amount of time — clearly speaking off prompter and calling his survival a miracle.
As expected, Trump reflected on the finality of his last campaign rally after about nine years.
“It’s amazing. I love you all. You’re very special. This is my last, my last rally. Can you believe it? The rallies, these big, beautiful rallies, there’s never been anything like it,” Trump said.
